Psalms 110 DBY
Summary: A royal psalm of David and the most frequently quoted psalm in the New Testament, opening with God's address to the psalmist's "Lord": "Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool" (v. 1). It promises this ruler a scepter extended from Zion and describes him as arrayed "in the beauties of holiness" with troops as numerous as morning dew (v. 3), then adds a striking priestly oath: "The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek" (v. 4), recalling the mysterious priest-king from Genesis. It closes picturing this figure executing judgment among the nations and drinking from a brook by the way, later widely read by Christians as messianic without that identification being made explicit in the psalm itself.
1Psalm of David. Jehovah said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.
2Jehovah shall send the sceptre of thy might out of Zion: rule in the midst of thine enemies.
3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in holy splendour: from the womb of the morning [shall come] to thee the dew of thy youth.
4Jehovah hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art priest for ever after the order of Melchisedek.
5The Lord at thy right hand will smite through kings in the day of his anger.
6He shall judge among the nations; he shall fill [all places] with dead bodies; he shall smite through the head over a great country.
7He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up the head.
