110
1 (Of Dovid. Mizmor)
Hashem said unto Adoni,*
Sit thou at My right hand,
until I make thine enemies
a footstool for thy feet.
2 Hashem shall stretch forth
the rod of thy might out of Tziyon;
rule thou in the midst of thine† enemies.‡
3 Thy§ people, willing in the Day of thy* Army,
will be arrayed in the splendor of kodesh (holiness);
from the womb of the dawn,
cometh to thee† thy young men‡ as the tal (dew).§
4 Hashem hath sworn, and will not relent,
Thou* art a kohen l'olam al divrati Malki-Tzedek
(kohen forever in respect to the order of Malki-Tzedek).†
5 Adonoi at thy right hand shall dash melachim (kings)
in pieces in the Yom Afo (Day of His Wrath).
6 He‡ shall judge among the Goyim,
He shall heap up geviyyot (corpses);
He shall dash in pieces Rosh (Head);§ al Eretz Rabbah (over Great, Whole Earth).*
7 Of the brook in the Derech shall he† drink;
therefore shall he lift up [as victor] the Rosh.‡
