About this chapterA short royal psalm of David in which the Lord speaks to David's own lord, inviting him to sit at God's right hand until his enemies are made a footstool. This king rules from Zion, is joined by willing people on the day of his power, and is also declared a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek, not of Aaron. He will judge nations and, though weary, is refreshed along the way. Jesus quoted the psalm to show the Messiah is more than David's son, and the letter to the Hebrews builds on the priesthood language. Jewish readers have often applied it to David or to an anointed king.

Psalms 110

Berean Standard Bible7 verses · 1 min read

1The LORD said to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” 2The LORD extends Your mighty scepter from Zion: “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.” 3Your people shall be willing on Your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, to You belongs the dew of Your youth. 4The LORD has sworn and will not change His mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” 5The Lord is at Your right hand; He will crush kings in the day of His wrath. 6He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the leaders far and wide. 7He will drink from the brook by the road; therefore He will lift up His head.
