The Kingly Priesthood of Messiah

1 {A Psalm of David.} The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

2 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 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

5 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.

7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.

Commentary

This psalm is significant in its portrayal of the Messiah as both a king and a priest, a concept that was seemingly impossible in the eyes of the Jewish people during David's time. The reference to sitting at God's right hand is a common image in the Bible, representing the highest position of honor and power. The mention of dominion over enemies and judgment of nations also reinforces the idea of the Messiah as a powerful ruler. The final verse about drinking from the brook along the way is a poetic expression of the Messiah's ultimate victory. Christians believe that Jesus Christ fulfilled this prophecy, as he is considered to be the Kingly Priest who sits at God's right hand and has conquered sin and death through his death and resurrection.
