The LORD said to my Lord:

The words
The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit here at my right hand, Until I make your foes a stool on which your feet may stand.”
The LORD will make your reign extend from Zion’s hill; With royal power you’ll rule among those who oppose your will.
When you display your power, your people flock to you; At dawn, arrayed in holiness, your youth will come like dew.
Unchangeably the LORD with solemn purpose swore: “Just like Melchizedek you are a priest for evermore.”
The Lord’s at your right hand; there he will ever stay. He on his day of wrath will crush the kings who bar his way.
The nations he will judge; the dead in heaps will lie. The mighty of the earth he’ll crush— all who his rule defy.
A brook beside the way his thirst will satisfy; And, thus refreshed, he will with joy lift up his head on high.

How is this list ordered?
Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.
Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
