Psalmus 109 (110)

Psalm 109 (110)

Messias rex et sacerdos

The messiah, king and priest

Oportet illum regnare, donec ponat omnes inimicos sub pedibus eius (1 Cor 15, 25).

He must reign, having put all His enemies under His feet (1 Cor 15:25).

Dixit Dóminus Dómino meo: * « Sede a dextris meis,

The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand:

donec ponam inimícos tuos * scabéllum pedum tuórum ».

Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.

Virgam poténtiæ tuæ emíttet Dóminus ex Sion: * domináre in médio inimicórum tuórum.

The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.

Tecum principátus in die virtútis tuæ, † in splendóribus sanctis, * ex útero ante lucíferum génui te.

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.

Iurávit Dóminus et non pænitébit eum: * « Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech ».

The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

Dóminus a dextris tuis, * conquassábit in die iræ suæ reges.

The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.

Iudicábit in natiónibus: cumulántur cadávera, * conquassábit cápita in terra spatiósa.

He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.

De torrénte in via bibet, * proptérea exaltábit caput.

He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Accessistis ad Sion montem et civitatem Dei viventis, Ierusalem cælestem (Hebr 12, 22).

Illuc enim ascendérunt tribus, tribus Dómini, * testimónium Israel, ad confiténdum nómini Dómini.

For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, * the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

Quia illic sedérunt sedes ad iudícium, * sedes domus David.

Psalmus 126 (127)

Psalm 126 (127)

Vanus labor sine Domino

Without the Lord, work is in vain

Dei ædificatio estis (1 Cor 3, 9).

In God you are built up (1 Cor 3:9).

Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, * in vanum labórant, qui ædíficant eam.

Unless the Lord build the house, * they labour in vain that build it.

Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat, qui custódit eam.

Unless the Lord keep the city, * he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.

Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere et sero quiéscere, † qui manducátis panem labóris, * quia dabit diléctis suis somnum.

It is vain for you to rise before light, and to rise after you have sat: † ye that eat the bread of sorrow, * when he shall give sleep to his beloved.

Ecce heréditas Dómini fílii, * merces fructus ventris.

Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: * the reward, the fruit of the womb.

Sicut sagíttæ in manu poténtis, * ita fílii iuventútis.

As arrows in the hand of the mighty, * so are the children of them that have been shaken.

Beátus vir, qui implévit pháretram suam ex ipsis: * non confundétur, cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.

Blessed is the man that hath filled his desire with them: * he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
