Sòm 110

1 Se yon sòm David. Seyè a pale ak wa a, chèf mwen an, li di: -Chita la sou bò dwat mwen, jouk tan mwen fè lènmi ou yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.

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 Seyè a va fè ou dominen sou peyi ki lòt bò fwontyè peyi Siyon. Li di ou: -Gouvènen sou tout lènmi ou yo.

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 Jou w'ap pare pou konbat lènmi ou yo, pèp ou a va prese vin ba ou konkou. Tankou lawouze nan granmaten, jenn gason ou yo va vin jwenn ou sou mòn ki apa pou Bondye a.

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 Seyè a te sèmante, l'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li: -Ou se prèt pou tout tan, menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk.

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 Seyè a kanpe sou bò dwat ou. Lè l' ankòlè l'ap krabinen wa yo.

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

6 L'ap jije nasyon yo, l'ap anpile kadav sou kadav, l'ap kraze chèf yo toupatou sou latè.

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 Wa a ap bwè dlo larivyè k'ap koule bò wout la. Se poutèt sa li p'ap janm bese tèt devan lènmi l' yo.

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