Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Clementine Vulgate
Psalms 109
1Psalmus David. [Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum. 2Virgam virtutis tu emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum. 3Tecum principium in die virtutis tu in splendoribus sanctorum: ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te. 4Juravit Dominus, et non pnitebit eum: Tu es sacerdos in ternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech. 5Dominus a dextris tuis; confregit in die ir su reges. 6Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas; conquassabit capita in terra multorum. 7De torrente in via bibet; propterea exaltabit caput.]
