Translation

The lord will send forth the rod of your strength from sion:/ rule in the midst of your enemies./ With you is the beginning of your the day of strength in the bright/ness of the holy ones:/ before the morning star I begot you from the womb./ The lord swore and he shall not repent: you are a priest forever according to the order of melchisedech./ The lord at your right hand: has broken kings in the day of his wrath./ He shall judge among nations he shall fill ruins:/ he shall shatter the heads in the land of many./ He shall drink from the torrent by the way:/ therefore he shall lift up the head./


Psalm 110
He has sent redemption to his people

I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE/ you lord with all/ my heart:/ in the council of the just/ and in the congregation./ The works of the lord are great:/ devised according to all/ his desires./ His work is acknowledgement and greatness:/
