110
A Psalm by David [Beloved].
Context: Messianic Psalm. (No reference)
The King Priest that is exemplified in Gen 14:18-20 is discussed in Hebrews 6:13-7:22.
 
1 *Yahweh says to 'adoni ·my Lord·, †“Sit at my right hand, ‡
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” § *
2 †Adonai will send out ‡the rod of your strength out of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
Rule among your enemies.
3 Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array.
Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.
4 §Adonai has sworn, and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever in the order of Malki-Tzedek [My king Righteousness].” *
5 †'Adonay [Lord] is at your right hand.
He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He will judge among the nations.
He will heap up dead bodies.
He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.
7 ‡He will drink of the brook on the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.
 
* 110:1 a MP: Messiah is called 'adon [Lord]. (Luke 20:41-44) † 110:1 . MP: Messiah sits at the right hand of God, the administrator to the king and able to act in the King’s authority, with all enemies being made subject to him. (Matt 26:64; Mark 14:62, 16:19; Acts 2:33; Rom 8:34; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3, 1:13, 8:1-2, 10:12; 1 Pet 3:22) ‡ 110:1 . Quoted in Matt 26:64; Mark 14:62, 16:19; Luke 22:69; Acts 5:31, 7:55-56; Col 3:1; Heb 1:3, 8:1, 12:2; 1 Pet 3:22; Rev 3:21 § 110:1 . Quoted in Acts 2:35; 1 Cor 15:25 * 110:1 . Quoted in Matt 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:43; Acts 2:33; Heb 1:13, 10:12-13 † 110:2 . MPr: “The rod of Thy strength” has an interesting mystic interpretation linking histories. The pledges which Tamar [Palm tree] took from Judah [Praised] (Gen 38:18) was a leading from the Holy Spirit. Judah’s seal is interpreted as signifying the Kingdom of God, the bracelet as the Sanhedrin (the Jewish Court of Law), and the staff representing the King Messiah. (Ps 110:2 and Is 11 in Midrash Genesis 85). (Mal 3:3; Luke 3:16) ‡ 110:2 . MPr: The staff of Aaron is said to have been in the hands of every king until the Temple was destroyed. Since then, it was hid and will be restored to King Messiah. (Midrash Numbers 18). The self-same staff was used by Jacob with which he crossed Jordan (Gen 32:22), the staff of Judah (Gen 38:18), and Moses’ staff of miracles (Ex 4:17), and Aaron’s budding staff (Num 17:8), and the young man David had this self-same staff in his hand when he slew Goliath [Exposer, Uncovered] (1 Sam 17:40). This very same staff will be restored to the Messiah. (Ps 110:2 in Yalkut on Psalm 110). (Rev 2:26-27) § 110:4 . MP: Messiah will be a priest, not from Levi but rather from Malki-Tzedek. (Heb 5:5-6, 6:17-20, 8:1-2) * 110:4 . Quoted in Heb 5:6, 5:10, 6:20, 7:11, 7:17, 7:21 † 110:5 . MP: Messiah is at the right hand of God, the administrator to the king and able to act in the King’s authority, crushing the kings against him. (Mark 16:19; Luke 1:71; Acts 1:5-8, 2:33, 5:31, 7:55-58; Heb 8:1-2, 10:12, 12:2; 1 Pet 3:22) ‡ 110:7 . MPr: Applied in Messianic times. When streams of blood flow from the wicked, birds will come to drink that flood. (Ps 110:7 in Yalkut u. s. col. d). (Rev 19:17-18, 19:21)
