Psalms 110:6

4 The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

5 The Lord is at Your right hand; He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the leaders far and wide.

7 He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore He will lift up His head.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
