Psalm 110:1
The Lord's great King
110:1This is a royal psalm. It tells us what God promised to the great king that he has chosen to rule the world.
110:1The Lord is God's own name. ‘My Lord ’ means ‘My master’. Jesus used the words from this psalm to show that the Messiah was greater than King David, because David called him ‘my Lord ’. See Matthew 22:43-44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42-43. Peter also used these words when he spoke to many people after Jesus had died. See Acts 2:34-35.
‘Sit at my right side until I win against your enemies.
110:1The right side is where the powerful, important person would sit.
Then you will be able to put your feet on them.’
