FITZMYER, pp 247-251, translates the 11QMelch text 10-11. "Elohim has his stand in the assembly of the "el, in the midst of gods ("lwhym) he gives judgement take your throne in the heights; let God judge (the) peoples p. 249. And on page 251 "How upon the mountains are the feet of the herald proclaiming peace; the herald of good, proclaiming salvation, (and) saying to Zion, "Your God (is King).and the herald is the one annointed with the Spirit (about) whom Daniel spoke (the Herald of) good, proclaiming salvation)", p. 250.
