110
The Loʀᴅ Gives Dominion to the King.
A Psalm of David.
The Loʀᴅ (Father) says to my Lord (the Messiah, His Son),
“Sit at My right hand
Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet [subjugating them into complete submission].” [Josh 10:24; Matt 26:64; Acts 2:34; 1 Cor 15:25; Col 3:1; Heb 12:2]
The Loʀᴅ will send the scepter of Your strength from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.” [Rom 11:26, 27]
Your people will offer themselves willingly [to participate in Your battle] in the day of Your power;
In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,
Your young men are to You as the dew.
 
The Loʀᴅ has sworn [an oath] and will not change His mind:
*You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.” [Heb 5:10; 7:11, 15, 21]
The Loʀᴅ is at Your right hand,
He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.
He will execute judgment [in overwhelming punishment] among the nations;
He will fill them with corpses,
He will crush the chief men over a broad country. [Ezek 38:21, 22; 39:11, 12]
He will drink from the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He will lift up His head [triumphantly].
* 110:4 In rabbinic legend, Shem (the son of Noah) was Melchizedek, and God had planned to make him the first high priest. But when he blessed Abraham without first blessing God (Gen 14:18f), God gave the priesthood to Abraham instead. 110:5 Lit has smashed, probably a prophetic construction, and so in v 6.
