1 The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, ♦︎
until I make your enemies your footstool.
2 May the Lord stretch forth the sceptre of your power; ♦︎
rule from Zion in the midst of your enemies.
3 Noble are you on this day of your birth; ♦︎
on the holy mountain, from the womb of the dawn
the dew of your new birth is upon you.
4 The Lord has sworn and will not retract: ♦︎
You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 The king at your right hand, O Lord, ♦︎
shall smite down kings in the day of his wrath.
6 In all his majesty, he shall judge among the nations, ♦︎
smiting heads over all the wide earth.
7 He shall drink from the brook beside the way; ♦︎
therefore shall he lift high his head.
1 Alleluia.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, ♦︎
in the company of the faithful and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great, ♦︎
sought out by all who delight in them.
3 His work is full of majesty and honour ♦︎
and his righteousness endures for ever.
4 He appointed a memorial for his marvellous deeds; ♦︎
the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He gave food to those who feared him; ♦︎
he is ever mindful of his covenant.
6 He showed his people the power of his works ♦︎
in giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are truth and justice; ♦︎
all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever; ♦︎
they are done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption to his people;
he commanded his covenant for ever; ♦︎
holy and awesome is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
a good understanding have those who live by it; ♦︎
his praise endures for ever.
