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!”

De David. Psaume. L’Eternel a dit à mon maître: "Assieds-toi à ma droite, jusqu’à ce que j’aie fait de tes ennemis un escabeau pour 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.

L’Eternel étendra de Sion le sceptre de ta puissance: domine au milieu de tes 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 se montre plein de dévouement, le jour où tu déploies tes forces dans un saint appareil. Du sein de l’aurore t’arrive la rosée qui vivifie 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.”

L’Eternel en a fait le serment qu’il ne révoquera point: "Tu es prêtre pour l’éternité à la façon de Melchisédech."

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, au jour de sa colère il brise des rois.

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.

Parmi les peuples il exerce la justice, accumule les cadavres; sur une étendue immense il fracasse des têtes.

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

Il boira sur la route de l’eau du torrent: aussi portera-t-il haut la tête.
