Dialogue with Trypho 83.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: Ps 110:1–4.

Greek text · Archambault 2:48

Ὅτι δὲ εἰς αὐτὸν οὐκ εἴρηται ὁ ψαλμός, δῆλον. Ἔχει γὰρ οὕτως· Λέγει κύριος τῷ κυρίῳ μου· Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου. Ῥάβδον δυνάμεως ἐξαποστελεῖ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ κατακυριεύσει ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου. Ἐν λαμπρότητι τῶν ἁγίων, πρὸ ἑωσφόρου ἐγέννησά σε. Ὤμοσε κύριος καὶ οὐ μεταμεληθήσεται· Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ

English · Claude translation

“But it is plain that the psalm was not spoken of him. For it runs thus: ‘The Lord says to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet. He shall send out a rod of power over Jerusalem, and it shall rule in the midst of your enemies. In the splendor of the saints, before the morning star I begot you. The Lord has sworn and will not repent: You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.’
