Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum. Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum. Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum: ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te. Juravit Dominus et non poenitebit eum: tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech. Dominus a dextris tuis: confregit in die irae suae reges. Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas: conquassabit capita in terra multorum. De torrente in via bibet: propterea exaltabit caput. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. | The Almighty said to my Lord: sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. The Almighty will send forth the sceptre of your power from Zion: be master even amid your enemies. Your sovereignty will be manifest on the day of your power among the splendour of the holy: from the womb, I gave birth to you before the first light The Almighty has sworn, and He will not repent: you are a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchior. The Almighty is at your right hand: It is done, He will crush kings on the day of His wrath. He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill them with ruins: He shall shatter heads across the wide earth. He shall drink from the torrent by the wayside; thus, He shall lift up His head. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
