1  The Lord said to my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, ♦︎
   until I make your enemies your footstool.’
2  May the Lord stretch forth the sceptre of your power; ♦︎
   rule from Zion in the midst of your enemies.
3  ‘Noble are you on this day of your birth; ♦︎
   on the holy mountain, from the womb of the dawn
      the dew of your new birth is upon you.’
4  The Lord has sworn and will not retract: ♦︎
   ‘You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’
5  The king at your right hand, O Lord, ♦︎
   shall smite down kings in the day of his wrath.
6  In all his majesty, he shall judge among the nations, ♦︎
   smiting heads over all the wide earth.
7  He shall drink from the brook beside the way; ♦︎
   therefore shall he lift high his head.

1  Alleluia.
      O praise God in his holiness; ♦︎
   praise him in the firmament of his power.
2  Praise him for his mighty acts; ♦︎
   praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3  Praise him with the blast of the trumpet; ♦︎
   praise him upon the harp and lyre.
4  Praise him with timbrel and dances; ♦︎
   praise him upon the strings and pipe.
5  Praise him with ringing cymbals; ♦︎
   praise him upon the clashing cymbals.
6  Let everything that has breath ♦︎
   praise the Lord.
      Alleluia.
