In Psalm 110:1, how could David refer to the Messiah as “my Lord” if the Messiah was supposed to be his descendant? What Does Psalm 110:1 Mean A Psalm of David• The superscription roots the psalm in David’s own pen; Jesus, Peter, and Paul all treat David as the inspired human author (Acts 2:29–30; Romans 4:6). • Because David writes prophetically (2 Samuel 23:2), the words that follow carry the weight of divine revelation and speak beyond his own experience. The LORD said to my Lord • “The LORD” (Yahweh) speaks to “my Lord” (David’s sovereign). Jesus explains that David’s “Lord” must be more than a merely human descendant; He is the Messiah, fully worthy of divine address (Matthew 22:41-45). • Peter applies the verse to the risen Christ, proclaiming that God has made Jesus “both Lord and Christ” (Acts 2:34-36). • The Father’s direct speech to the Son assures us that the Trinity’s plan of redemption is certain and unified (John 5:19-23). Sit at My right hand • The right hand is the place of supreme honor, authority, and shared rule (1 Kings 2:19). • After His resurrection, Jesus ascended and literally sat at that position of majesty (Mark 16:19; Ephesians 1:20-22). • From there He reigns, intercedes for believers (Romans 8:34), and governs the advance of the gospel. Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet • “Until” points to an unfolding timeline: Christ’s reign is present, yet its full display awaits the subjugation of every opposing power (1 Corinthians 15:24-28). • A “footstool” pictures total victory—the ancient conqueror placing his foot on the vanquished (Joshua 10:24). • Hebrews links this promise to Jesus’ finished sacrifice: “Since that time He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool” (Hebrews 10:12-13). • The final fulfillment arrives at His return, when all rebellion is silenced and the kingdom is consummated (Revelation 19:11-16). summary David records a divine conversation in which the Father enthrones the Son, guaranteeing His present heavenly rule and future earthly triumph. Psalm 110:1 therefore assures believers that Jesus now reigns with absolute authority and will, in God’s perfect time, overthrow every rival, securing complete and everlasting victory. (1) The Lord said . . .--The usual prophetic phrase, generally translated, "Thus saith," &c.
