大衛的詩。耶和華所揀選之王
耶和華對我主說:
「你坐在我的右邊, 等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳。」 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2耶和华必使你从锡安伸出你能力的权杖; 你务要在仇敌中掌权。The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3你在圣山上☛“圣山上”或译“圣洁妆饰中”。掌权的日子, 你的子民必甘心跟随☛“你的子民必甘心跟随”:七十士译本是“你必有王子的尊严”。; 从晨曦初现, 你就有清晨☛“清晨”:原文是“青春”。的甘露。Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4耶和华起了誓,绝不改变: “你是照着麦基洗德的体系永远为祭司。”The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5在你右边的主, 当他发怒的日子,必打伤列王。The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6他要审判列国, 尸首就布满各处; 他要痛击遍地的领袖。He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7他要喝路旁的河水, 因此必抬起头来。He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
