Virgam virtutis tuæ emittet Dominus ex Sion: * dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.
(The Lord will send forth the sceptre of Thy power out of Sion: rule Thou in the midst of Thy enemies.)
Tecum principium in die virtutis tuæ in splendoribus sanctorum: * ex utero ante luciferum genui te.
(With 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.)
Juravit Dominus, et non pœnitebit eum: * tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
(The Lord hath sworn, and He will not repent: Thou art a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedech.)
Dominus a dextris tuis * confregit in die iræ suæ reges.
(The Lord, at Thy right hand, hath broken kings in the day of His wrath.)
Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas: * conquassabit capita in terra multorum.
(He shall judge among nations, He shall fill ruins: He shall crush the heads in the land of many.)
