NEW AMERICAN BIBLECATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 A psalm of David. The LORD says to you, my lord: "Take your throne at my righthand, while I make your enemies your footstool."1 Alleluia. I will confess to you, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the just and in the congregation.
2 The scepter of your sovereign might the LORD will extend from Zion. The LORD says: "Rule over your enemies!2 Great are the works of the Lord, exquisite in all his intentions.
3 Yours is princely power from the day of your birth. In holy splendor before the daystar, like the dew I begot you."3 Confession and magnificence are his work. And his justice remains from age to age.
4 The LORD has sworn and will not waver: "Like Melchizedek you are a priest forever."4 He has created a memorial to his wonders; he is a merciful and compassionate Lord.
5 At your right hand is the Lord, who crushes kings on the day of wrath,5 He has given food to those who fear him. He will be mindful of his covenant in every age.
6 Who, robed in splendor, judges nations, crushes heads across the wide earth,6 He will announce the virtue of his works to his people,
7 Who drinks from the brook by the wayside and thus holds high the head.7 so that he may give them the inheritance of the nations. The works of his hands are truth and judgment.
8 All his commands are faithful: confirmed from age to age, created in truth and fairness.
9 He has sent redemption upon his people. He has commanded his covenant for all eternity. Holy and terrible is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding is for all who do it. His praise remains from age to age.
