Psalms 110
110
Messiah, King, and Priest # 110 This psalm is applied to Christ in the New Testament, where it is quoted more often than any other Old Testament passage.
King David’s psalm
1Yahweh said to my Lord, the Messiah:
“Sit with me as enthroned ruler # 110:1 Or “at my right hand.” The right hand is the position of authority and honor.
while I subdue your every enemy.
They will bow low before you
as I make them a footstool for your feet.” # 110:1 A footstool symbolizes what is subdued. It is taken from the Hebrew root word “to subdue.”
2Messiah, I know God himself will establish your kingdom
as you reign in Zion-glory.
For he says to you, “Rule in the midst of your enemies!”
3Your people will be your love offerings.
In the day of your mighty power you will be exalted,
and in the brightness of your holy ones you will shine
as an army arising from the womb of the dawn,
anointed with the dew of your youth! # 110:3 Or “like dew, your youth will come to you.”
4Yahweh has taken a solemn oath
and will never back away from it, saying,
“You are a priest for eternity, after the manner of Melchizedek!” # 110:4 Melchizedek was the name of a Canaanite king and priest over the Jebusite kingdom that later became Jerusalem. The name Melchizedek means “my king of righteousness.”
5The Lord stands in full authority # 110:5 The Hebrew word used here for “Lord” is Adonai or Adonay. It is the plural form of Adhon. Jesus is called Lord of lords, and we are the lords that he is Lord over. We are seated at his right hand (Benjamin) to rule with him. to shatter to pieces
the kings who stand against you
on the day he displays his terrible wrath.
6He will judge every rebellious nation,
filling their battlefields with corpses,
and will shatter the strongholds of ruling powers.
7Yet he himself will drink from his inheritance
as from a flowing brook;
refreshed by love he will stand victorious!

A praise song of David.
1The Lord said to my lord,#110:1 my lord That is, the king.
“Sit at my right side, while I put your enemies under your control.”
2The Lord will cause your kingdom to grow, beginning at Zion,
until you rule the lands of your enemies!
3Your people will gladly join you
when you gather your army together.
You will wear your special clothes
and meet together early in the morning.
Your young men will be all around you
like dew on the ground.#110:3 The Hebrew text here is hard to understand. Literally, “Your people will be freewill offerings on your day of power. In holy splendor from the womb of dawn your dew of youth will be yours.”
4The Lord has made a promise with an oath
and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever—
the kind of priest Melchizedek was.”
5My Lord is at your right side.
He will defeat the other kings when he becomes angry.
6He will judge the nations.
The ground will be covered with dead bodies.
He will punish the leaders of powerful nations all around the world.
7The king will drink from a stream on the way.
Then he will lift his head and become strong!#110:7 lift his head and become strong Literally, “lift his head.” Here, the poet probably means two things: “he will raise his head after drinking the water,” and “he will become strong or important.”
