Psalms 110

1 Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”

Un psaume de David. Yahvé dit à mon Seigneur: « Assieds-toi à ma droite, jusqu'à ce que je fasse de tes ennemis le marchepied de tes pieds. »

2 Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

Yahvé fera sortir de Sion le bâton de ta force. Gouvernez parmi vos ennemis.

3 On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”

Ton peuple s'offre volontiers au jour de ta puissance, dans une tenue sainte. Du sein de l'aube, tu as la rosée de ta jeunesse.

4 Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”

Yahvé a juré, et il ne changera pas d'avis: « Tu es prêtre pour toujours, dans l'ordre de Melchisédek. »

5 Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

Le Seigneur est à ta droite. Il écrasera les rois au jour de sa colère.

6 He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.

Il jugera parmi les nations. Il va entasser des cadavres. Il écrasera le maître de la terre entière.

7 But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.

Il boira du ruisseau en chemin; c'est pourquoi il lèvera la tête.
