Dixit Dominus Domino meo: *sede a dextris meis.
The Lord said unto my Lord, sit on my right hand.
Donec ponam inimicos tuos: *scabellum pedum tuorum.
Until I make thy enemies the footstool of thy
feet.
Virgam virtutis tuæ emittet Dominus ex Sion:
*Dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.
The Lord will send the sceptre of thy power out
of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
Tecum principium in die virtutis tuæ, in
splendoribus sanctorum: *ex utero ante luciferum
genui te.
Dominion shall be with thee in the day of thy power in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begat thee. Juravit Dominus, et non pœnitebit eum: *Tu es sacerdos in æternam secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
The Lord swore, and it shall not repent him:
Thou art a priest for ever, according to the
order of Melchisedech.
Dominus a dextris tuis: *confregit in die iræ suæ
reges.
The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in
the day of his wrath.
Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas:
*conquassabit capita in terra multorum.
He shall judge among nations, he shall fill
ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of
many.
De torrente in via bibet: *propterea exaltabit
caput.
He shall drink of the torrent in the way;
therefore shall he lift up the head.
