Chapter Text

110:1 A Psalme of David. The Lord said vnto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.

110:2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion: be thou ruler in the middes of thine enemies.

110:3 Thy people shall come willingly at the time of assembling thine armie in holy beautie: the youth of thy wombe shalbe as the morning dewe.

110:5 The Lord, that is at thy right hand, shall wound Kings in the day of his wrath.

110:6 He shalbe iudge among the heathen: he shall fill all with dead bodies, and smite the head ouer great countreis.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "psalme", "david", "lord", "said", "vnto", "thou", and "right". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "psalme" and "david", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The local GNV text gives this verse as the immediate unit, so "psalme" and "david" carries the first interpretive weight. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "psalme" and "david" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
