Psalms, 109
Christ's exaltation and everlasting priesthood.
Dixit Dominus.
[1] A psalm for David. The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool. •
[2] The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies. •
[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] The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. •
[5] The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath. •
[6] He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of many. •
[7] He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. •
