Psaumes 110

1 De David. Psaume. Parole de l’Éternel à mon Seigneur: Assieds-toi à ma droite, Jusqu’à ce que je fasse de tes ennemis ton marchepied.

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 étendra de Sion le sceptre de ta puissance: 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 est plein d’ardeur, quand tu rassembles ton armée; Avec des ornements sacrés, du sein de l’aurore Ta jeunesse vient à toi comme une rosée.

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 l’a juré, et il ne s’en repentira point: Tu es sacrificateur pour toujours, A la manière de Melchisédek.

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, Brise des 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 exerce la justice parmi les nations: tout est plein de cadavres; Il brise des têtes sur toute l’étendue du 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 boit au torrent pendant la marche: C’est pourquoi il relève la tête.

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