< Psalmorum 110 >
1 Psalmus David. Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis: Donec ponam inimicos tuos, scabellum pedum tuorum.
A Psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 Virgam virtutis tuæ emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.
The Lord shall send out a rod of power for thee out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Tecum principium in die virtutis tuæ in splendoribus sanctorum: ex utero ante luciferum genui te.
With thee is dominion in the day of thy power, in the splendours of thy saints: I have begotten thee from the womb before the morning.
4 Iuravit Dominus, et non pœnitebit eum: Tu es sacerdos in æternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedec.
5 Dominus a dextris tuis, confregit in die iræ suæ reges.
The Lord at thy right hand has dashed in pieces kings in the day of his wrath.
6 Iudicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas: conquassabit capita in terra multorum.
He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill up [the number of] corpses, he shall crush the heads of many on the earth.
7 De torrente in via bibet: propterea exaltabit caput.
He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up the head.
