Psalm, 110
In Psalm 110, David prophetically speaks of a future ruler who will sit at God's right hand and be both a priest and a king. This ruler, also known as the Messiah, will have dominion over his enemies and will judge the nations. The psalm ends with a declaration that the ruler will be victorious and will drink from the brook along the way.
Bible version
The Kingly Priesthood of Messiah
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.
