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!”

Psaume de David.

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.

Le Seigneur fera sortir de Sion la verge de votre puissance; dominez au milieu de 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.”

Avec vous est le principe au jour de votre puissance, dans les splendeurs des saints: c’est de mon sein qu’avant que lucifer existât je vous ai engendré.

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.”

Le Seigneur a juré et il ne s’en repentira point: Vous êtes prêtre pour l’éternité, selon l’ordre 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 votre droite: il a brisé des 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 exercera ses jugements parmi les nations, qu’il remplira de ruines, il écrasera sur la terre les têtes d’un grand nombre.

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

Il boira du torrent dans le chemin: c’est pour cela qu’il lèvera la tête.
