Psalm 110

In Psalm 110 God promises universal victory to David and his dynasty. David will exercise absolute authority over the kingdom as did the priest-king Melchizedek (see the seven references in Heb. 7). In the New Testament this messianic motif (Jesus seen as the fulfillment) is reflected in verses such as Matt. 22:44 and Acts 2:34.

                   Psalm 110

​The Lord said to my lord, “Sit here on my right
I’ll put enemies under your feet;
Victory is sure, your kingdom keeps spreading
Young warriors don’t know defeat.
 
The Lord has promised with an oath
A vow you need not check;
“You are a priest forever
In the order of Melchizedek.”
 
The Lord is there at your right hand
His anger will shatter kings:
He drinks from springs as he moves ahead
Of triumph he always sings
