Psalmorum 110

1 Psalmus David. Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.

“A psalm of David.” Jehovah said to my lord, “Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool.”

2 Virgam virtutis tuæ emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.

Jehovah will extend the sceptre of thy power from Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies!

3 Tecum principium in die virtutis tuæ in splendoribus sanctorum: ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.

Thy people shall be ready, when thou musterest thy forces, in holy splendor; Thy youth shall come forth like dew from the womb of the morning.

4 Juravit Dominus, et non pœnitebit eum: Tu es sacerdos in æternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech.

Jehovah hath sworn, and he will not repent: “Thou art a priest for ever, After the order of Melchisedeck!”

5 Dominus a dextris tuis; confregit in die iræ suæ reges.

The Lord is at thy right hand, He shall crush kings in the day of his wrath.

6 Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas; conquassabit capita in terra multorum.

He shall execute justice among the nations; He shall fill them with dead bodies, He shall crush the heads of his enemies over many lands.

7 De torrente in via bibet; propterea exaltabit caput.

He shall drink of the brook in the way; Therefore shall he lift up his head.
