Psalmorum 110

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

“By David, a psalm.” The Eternal saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a stool for thy feet.

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

The staff of thy strength will the Eternal stretch forth out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.

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

Thy people will bring freewill-gifts on the day of thy power, in the ornaments of holiness: as out of the bosom of the morning-dawn so is thine the dew of thy youth.

4 Iuravit Dominus, et non poenitebit eum: Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech.

The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent of it, Thou shalt be a priest for ever after the order of Malki-zedek.

5 Dominus a dextris tuis, confregit in die irae suae reges.

The Lord at thy right hand crusheth kings on the day of his wrath.

6 Iudicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas: conquassabit capita in terra multorum.

He will judge among the nations—there shall be a fulness of corpses—he crusheth heads on a wide-spread land.

7 De torrente in via bibit: propterea exaltabit caput.

From the brook will he drink on the way: therefore will he lift up the head.
