Psalm 110
Darby Translation · 7 verses
Psalm of David.
1Jehovah 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.Darby's Synopsis
Psalm 110, though of the very highest interest, is in application so simple that it needs but brief comment. The despised and poor man, hated for his love, is David's Lord, and called to sit at the right hand of Jehovah. It is of deep interest to see how in Isaiah 6 Adonai is Jehovah of hosts in the fullest sense, and in this psalm, being David's Son, sits at the right hand of Jehovah, and strikes through kings in the day of His wrath. Compare Psalm 2.
