[8] Claude Le Jeune, Pseaume 110 (Cl?ment Marot)
Le toutpuissant ? mon Seigneur et maistre A dit ce mot, ? ma dextre te sieds, Tant que j'aurai renvers? et fait estre Tes ennemis le scabeau de tes pieds. Le sceptre fort de ton puissant empire Enfin sera loin de Sion transmis Par l'Eternel, lequel te viendra dire, Regn'au milieu de tous tes ennemis.
De son bon gr? ta gent bien disposee, Au jour tressainct de ton sacre courra, Et aussi dru qu'au matin chet rosee, Naistr' en tes fils ta jeuness' on verra. Car l'Esternel sans muer de courage, A de toi seul dit et jur? avec: Grand prestr' et Roi tu seras en tout aage, En suyvant l'ordr' au bon Melchisedec.
A ton bras droit, Dieu ton Seigneur et Pere, T'assistera aux belliqueux arrois: L? o? pour toi, au jour de sa colere Rompra la test' ? Princes et ? Rois.
Sur les Gentils exercera justice, Remplira tout de corps morts envahis: Et frapera pour le dernier supplice Le chef regnant sur beaucoup de pays. Mesm'en passant au milieu de la plaine, De l'eau courant' ? grand' hast' il boira, Par ce moyen ayant victoire pleine, La teste haut tout joyeux levera.

| [8] Claude Le Jeune, Psalm 110 (Cl?ment Marot)
The Almighty has said to my Lord and master, This word: sit at my right hand, For I will overthrow your enemies And make them the footstool under your feet. The strong scepter of your mighty kingdom Will stretch far from out of Zion By order of the Eternal One, who will say to you: Reign in the midst of all your enemies.
Your people will most willingly Run to the high holy day of your sacrifice And as strong as the dawn comes in the morning They will see your youth being born in your sons. For the Eternal One whose courage never fails Has said to you alone, and sworn thus: A High Priest and King you shall be forever, According to the order of the good Melchizedek.
At your right arm, God, your Lord and Father, Will aid you in the arrays of battle: Where for you, in the day of his wrath He will split the heads of princes and kings.
Among the Gentiles he will carry out justice, He will heap up the spread of dead bodies: And will strike the final punishment To the reigning head of many a country. And passing through the midst of the plain, He will drink of the swiftly running water, Thus attaining full victory He will joyfully raise his head on high.
