Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 110:5-7

Here we have our great Redeemer, I. Conquering his enemies (Ps. 110:5, 6) in order to the making of them his footstool, Ps. 110:1. Our Lord Jesus will certainly bring to nought all the opposition made to his kingdom, and bring to ruin all those who make that opposition and persist in it. He will be too hard for those, whoever they may be, that fight against him, against his subjects and the interest of his kingdom among men, either by persecutions or by perverse disputings. Observe here, 1.... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 110:6

He shall judge among the Heathen ,.... Either rule among the Gentiles, making them through his Gospel obedient by word and deed, and so reigning in their hearts by his Spirit and grace; and, by making many converts among them, enlarge his dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth: or inflict judgments on the Heathen; that is, the Papists, as they are called. These are the Gentiles to whom the outward court is given; the nations that will be angry when the time of... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 110:6

He shall judge among the heathen - David shall greatly extend his dominion, and rule over the Idumeans, Moabites, Philistines, etc. He shall fill - with the dead bodies - He shall fill pits - make heaps of slain; there shall be an immense slaughter among his enemies. He shall wound the heads - He shall so bring down the power of all the neighboring kings, as to cause them to acknowledge him as their lord, and pay him tribute. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 110:1-7

There seem to be no sufficient grounds for rejecting the traditional views of the authorship and the interpretation. The psalm belongs to the same class as Psalm it. It is wholly Messianic. David has had revelations made to him concerning the kingdom, the priesthood, and the ultimate victory of the Messiah over the entire power of evil. In a grand burst of song, rough and rugged, no doubt, but full of energy and genius, he addresses Messiah, and sets forth his praise and glory, the mighty... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 110:1-7

The victorious King. New Testament references leave no doubt as to the Messianic character of this psalm. "The image of a warrior destroying his foes may seem a strange representation of the establishment upon earth of Christ's spiritual dominion. But David described Messiah's victory over his enemies by images familiar to him as a warrior; so Ezekiel drew his images out of the forms of the Assyrian world." Here, in prophetic vision, we see Christ our Lord— I. HOLDING THE MOST ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 110:1-7

Christ the Divine King and Priest. Many difficulties in the interpretation of this psalm. Let us accept it as, in the main, a prophecy of the Jewish Messiah. Then we find the two main features of it fulfilled in the Christ of history. I. HE HAS BEEN RAISED TO THE DIVINE THRONE OF KINGLY POWER . ( Psalms 110:1-3 .) 1. The power by which he subdues the world is spiritual and Divine . His cross "the rod of his strength." 2. His servants are willing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 110:6

He shall judge among the heathen ; i . e . execute the royal office not only over Israel, but over the nations of the earth generally (comp. Psalms 7:9 ; Psalms 9:9 ; Psalms 96:10 , etc.). He shall fill the places with the dead bodies ; rather, he shall fill the earth with dead bodies ; i . e . with the corpses of those whom he has slain while executing judgment. He shall wound the heads over many countries . Thus translated, the clause merely repeats Psalms 110:5 .... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 110:6

He shall judge among the heathen - Among the “nations.” That is, he shall set up a kingdom, or shall rule over the nations of the earth. He shall come to execute judgment and justice, and shall apportion to people what is due to them. See the notes at Isaiah 11:3-5.He shall fill the places with the dead bodies - He shall make a great slaughter - indicative of conquest, and of the subjugation of the world to himself. It would be “as if” the bodies of the slain in battle strewed the ground, or... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 110:6

Psalms 110:6. He shall judge among the heathen Shall demonstrate himself to all the heathen world to be their lawgiver and judge, and shall condemn and punish those that reject his salvation, and disobey his laws, rendering indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish unto all that refuse to obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, Romans 2:8-9. He shall fill the places with the dead bodies Of his enemies, or of those powers whom he shall strike through in the day of his wrath; and... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 110:1-7

Psalms 110:0 The ideal priest-kingMelchizedek was priest-king of the Canaanite city-state of Salem, later known as Jerusalem. He was a man so pure and upright that he was called king of peace, king of righteousness and priest of the Most High God (Hebrews 7:1-10). He first appears in the biblical record when he met and blessed Abraham, who was returning after a victory over some raiders. Abraham refused to take any reward from those who benefited from the victory, but instead made offerings to... read more
