1The psalm of David. The Lord said to my Lord; Sit thou on my right side. Till I put thine enemies a stool of thy feet.

2The Lord shall send out from Zion the rod of thy virtue; be thou lord in the midst of thine enemies.

3The beginning is with thee in the day of thy virtue, in the brightnesses of saints; I begat thee of the womb, before the day star.

4The Lord swore, and it shall not repent him; Thou art a priest without end, by the order of Melchizedek.

5The Lord on thy right side; hath broken kings in the day of his venge-ance.

6He shall deem among nations, he shall fill the land with fallings; he shall shake heads in the land of many men.

7He drank of the strand [or stream] in the way; therefore he enhanced the head.
