Psaumes 110

1 De David. Psaume. L’Éternel a dit à mon Seigneur: Assieds-toi à ma droite, jusqu’à ce que je mette tes ennemis pour le marchepied de tes pieds.

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!”

2 L’Éternel enverra de Sion la verge de ta force: Domine au milieu de tes ennemis!

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

3 Ton peuple sera [un peuple] de franche volonté, au jour de ta puissance, en sainte magnificence. Du sein de l’aurore te [viendra] la rosée de ta jeunesse.

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.”

4 L’Éternel a juré, et il ne se repentira point: Tu es sacrificateur pour toujours, selon l’ordre de Melchisédec.

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.”

5 Le Seigneur, à ta droite, brisera les rois au jour de sa colère.

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

6 Il jugera parmi les nations, il remplira [tout] de corps morts, il brisera le chef d’un grand pays.

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.

7 Il boira du torrent dans le chemin, c’est pourquoi il lèvera haut la tête.

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