Psalm 110:6-7

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 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 110:7

He shall drink of the brook in the way ,.... This some understand of the sufferings of Christ, compared to a brook, a flow of waters, because of the abundance of them, as in Psalm 69:1 , his partaking of which is sometimes expressed by drinking, Matthew 20:22 and this was in the way of working out the salvation of his people, and in his own way to glory, Luke 24:26 . If this is the sense, there may be some allusion to the black brook Kidron; over which David, the type of Christ, passed... 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

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 110:7

He shall drink of the brook in the way - He shall have sore travail, and but little ease and refreshment: but he shall still go on from conquering to conquer. Therefore shall he lift up the head - Or his head. He shall succeed in all his enterprises, and at last be peaceably settled in his ample dominions. But these verses, as well as the former, may be applied to our Lord. The fifth verse may be an address to Jehovah: Adonai at thy right hand, O Jehovah, shall smite kings - bring down... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 110:7

Verse 7 7He shall drink Not a few interpreters, in my opinion, expound this verse in a very harsh manner: that the carnage would be so great, as to cause the blood of the slain to flow in torrents, out of which Christ, the Conqueror, might drink till he was satiated. (332) Akin to this is the exposition of those who would have it to be a figurative representation of misery and grief, and thus descriptive of the many afflictions to which Christ was liable during this transitory life. The... 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
