< 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 at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”
2 Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.
The Lord will send forth the scepter of your virtue from Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.
3 Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum: ex utero ante luciferum genui te.
It is with you from the beginning, in the day of your virtue, in the splendor of the saints. From conception, before the light-bearer, I begot you.
4 Iuravit Dominus, et non poenitebit eum: Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
The Lord has sworn, and he will not repent: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
5 Dominus a dextris tuis, confregit in die irae suae reges.
The Lord is at your right hand. He has broken kings in the day of his wrath.
6 Iudicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas: conquassabit capita in terra multorum.
He will judge between the nations; he will fill up ruination. He will shatter heads in the land of the many.
7 De torrente in via bibit: propterea exaltabit caput.
He will drink from the torrent on the way. Because of this, he will exalt the head.
