NEW JERUSALEMDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [Of David Psalm] Yahweh declared to my Lord, 'Take your seat at my right hand, til I have madeyour enemies your footstool.'1 The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
2 Yahweh will stretch out the sceptre of your power; from Zion you wil rule your foes al around you.2 The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
3 Royal dignity has been yours from the day of your birth, sacred honour from the womb, from thedawn of your youth.3 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.
4 Yahweh has sworn an oath he wil never retract, you are a priest for ever of the order of Melchizedek.4 The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
5 At your right hand, Lord, he shatters kings when his anger breaks out.5 The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He judges nations, heaping up corpses, he breaks heads over the whole wide world.6 He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.
7 He drinks from a stream as he goes, and therefore he holds his head high.7 He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
