Psalmorum 110

1 David psalmus dixit Dominus Domino meo sede a dextris meis donec ponam inimicos tuos scabillum 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 tuae 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 tuae 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 iuravit Dominus et non paenitebit eum tu es sacerdos in aeternum 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 irae suae reges

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

6 iudicabit in nationibus implebit cadavera 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.
