Psalms 110:1 - Exposition

The Lord said unto my Lord. Jehovah said unto him who is my Lord and Master, i . e . to Messiah, who is my liege Lord, although about to be, in some mysterious way, my descendant. Sit thou at my right hand. An exaltation too high for any merely human personage (comp. Acts 2:33 ; Acts 7:56 ; Hebrews 1:3 ). Until I make thine enemies thy footstool . To place the foot upon the neck or body of defeated enemies was a common practice of Oriental conquerors.
