Psalm 109
The Sixteenth Kathisma
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send out a rod of power for thee out of Sion:
rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 With thee is dominion in the day of thy power,
in the splendours of [2]thy saints:
I have begotten thee from the womb before the morning.
4 [3]The Lord sware, and will not repent,
Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedek.
5 The Lord at thy right hand hath dashed in pieces kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the nations, he shall fill up the number of corpses,
he shall crush the heads of many on the earth.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way;
therefore shall he lift up the head.
