O reino e o sacerdócio do Messias
Salmo de Davi

1 Disse o Senhor ao meu senhor:

Assenta-te à minha direita,

até que eu ponha os teus inimigos

debaixo dos teus pés.

2 O Senhor enviará de Sião o cetro do seu poder,

dizendo: Domina entre os teus inimigos.

3 Apresentar-se-á voluntariamente o teu povo,

no dia do teu poder;

com santos ornamentos,

como o orvalho emergindo da aurora,

serão os teus jovens.

4 O Senhor jurou e não se arrependerá:

Tu és sacerdote para sempre,

segundo a ordem de Melquisedeque.

5 O Senhor, à tua direita,

no dia da sua ira, esmagará os reis.

6 Ele julga entre as nações;

enche-as de cadáveres;

esmagará cabeças por toda a terra.

7 De caminho, bebe na torrente

e passa de cabeça erguida.

A Psalm of David.

1 Jehovah saith unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2 Jehovah will send forth the rod of thy strength out of Zion:

Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

3 Thy people offer themselves willingly

In the day of thy power, in holy array:

Out of the womb of the morning

Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

4 Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent:

Thou art a priest for ever

After the order of Melchizedek.

5 The Lord at thy right hand

Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

6 He will judge among the nations,

He will fill the places with dead bodies;

He will strike through the head in many countries.

7 He will drink of the brook in the way:

Therefore will he lift up the head.

1 The LORD says to my lord: ""Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."

2 The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, "Rule in the midst of your enemies!"

3 Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the morning's womb. [^2]

4 The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

5 The Lord is at your right hand "; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

7 He will drink from a brook along the way, "and so he will lift his head high.
