Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand: Until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
1Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
2For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: from the womb before the day star I begot thee.
3They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
4For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5The Lord at thy right hand hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.
5And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.
6Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7He shall drink of the torrent in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
7When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
