"Rome" elevates?

No, Christ elevates His beloved--- to sit with Him at His right hand: as Psalm 16 says, "to delights at His right hand forever."

The royal court of the OT provides a model of how a king known for his wisdom and his magnificence, honors his queen-mother:

1 Kings 2:19
Then Bathsheba went to King Solomon
to speak to him for Adonijah,
and the king stood up to meet her
and paid her homage.
Then he sat down upon his throne,
and a throne was provided for the king’s mother,
who sat at his right."

And the Messiah --- being Divine --- is greater than David, greater than Solomon, and a King's greatness is shown in the abundance and nobility of his gifts, in the honors He extends.

Look at how the beloved is treated: "Arrayed in the gold of Ophir, she comes to stand at your right hand."(Psalm 45:10)

Look at how God treats Mary:

"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord....All generations will call me Blessed... The Almighty has done great things for me...He has lifted up the lowly."

Do you think He would honor her less than Solomon honored Bathsheba, when the OT is but a shadow, a type and a prophecy?

It is God who lifts the lowly.

Every great thing He has worked in her soul,"proclaims the greatness of the Lord."

This is why we do not stop proclaiming His greatness.

All those OT passages you claim are about Mary are just assumptions.

There is NOTHING in them that indicates that the mother of the Messiah is the one alluded to in any OT passage short of Isaiah 7.

You really have no prior Biblical training. That is abundantly clear.

No, Christ elevates His beloved--- to sit with Him at His right hand: as Psalm 16 says, "to delights at His right hand forever."

I believe this is Psalm 16:11....not that you posted the verse.

Not one of the major translations renders the passage in this manner.

You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. NASB

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. KJV

Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end. DRB

Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys is with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever! Young's Literal Translation

In NONE of these passages in there any reference to Mary.

Here is the passage in context:

1Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.

2I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.”

3As for the saints who are in the earth, They are the majestic ones in whom is all my delight.

4The sorrows of those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

5The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You support my lot.

6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Indeed, my heritage is beautiful to me.

7I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.

8I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

9Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.

10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.

11You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

************************

Not only have you taken the verse out of context...you've completely lifted only one part of the verse to support your false claim!!

There is NO. SOUND. BIBLICAL. EXEGESIS. THAT. ALLOWS. THIS.

Quoting verses out of context is a hallmark of those who are deceived, or, who are attempting to deceive.

You may want to review the episode of Jesus being tempted in the desert and how Satan would selectively quote Scripture...out of context.

Your adherence to the false dogmas of Roman Catholicism have really deceived you.
