Psalm
You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
till I make your enemies
your footstool.” R·
The scepter of your power
the Lord will stretch
forth from Zion:
“Rule in the midst
of your enemies.” R·
“Yours is princely power in
the day of your birth,
in holy splendor;
before the daystar, like
the dew, I have
begotten you.” R·
The Lord has sworn,
and he will not repent:
“You are a priest forever,
according to the order
of Melchizedek.” R·
