Study notes in this chapter (1)
Psalms 110
A Psalm of David.
1 Yahweh said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Compare KJV wording
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Language note. The first expression is YHWH; the second is adoni, my lord. The second is not the same Hebrew word as the first, and it is not automatically changed to Adonai. Interpretation of the second figure belongs in commentary.
2 Yahweh shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Compare KJV wording
The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4 Yahweh hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Compare KJV wording
The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5 Adonai at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
Compare KJV wording
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
