PSALMS 110
1
The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for you. ”
2
Notes
+
“My Lord”: by the time of the New Testament this was applied to the Messiah, but it is not made explicit in the text here. (See for example Matthew 22:41-46; Mark 12:35-37; Luke 20:41-44).
+
“Footstool”: A symbol of submission.
2
The Lord will expand your royal power from Zion; you will rule over your enemies.
3
Your people willingly follow you on the day when your power is revealed on the holy mountains, renewed in strength every morning like dew at dawn.
1
Notes
+
This verse has many problems in translation, particularly at the end. Literally: “from the womb from the dawn to you the dew of our youth.”
4
The Lord has made a vow he will not break: “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.”
5
The Lord stands right beside you to support you; he will strike down kings in his anger.
6
He will execute judgment on the nations, filling their lands with corpses. He will strike down those who rule all over the earth.
7
He will drink from streams beside the path. Therefore he will be victorious.
3
Notes
+
Referring to the king that is made explicit in verse 2, not the Lord God.
+
In other words the king will be refreshed.
+
“Therefore”: probably meaning for all the reasons cited in the psalm.
