Psalm 109

Psalmus David.

Dixit Dominus Domino meo: * Sede a dextris meis,
donec ponam inimicos tuos * scabellum pedum tuorum.
Virgam virtutis tuæ emittet Dominus ex Sion: * dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.
Tecum principium in die virtutis tuæ in splendoribus sanctorum: * ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.
Juravit Dominus, et non pœnitebit eum: * Tu es sacerdos in æternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
Dominus a dextris tuis; * confregit in die iræ suæ reges.
Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas; * conquassabit capita in terra multorum.
De torrente in via bibet; * propterea exaltabit caput.

English translation (according to Douay-Rheims Bible)

The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand:
Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.
The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.
He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.
He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
