Psalms 110 – A Priest After Melchizedek's Order
David's short, messianic psalm naming a coming priest-king after Melchizedek's order.
Coming after David's plea in Psalms 109, this brief but pivotal psalm records the LORD's word to David's Lord, 'Sit thou at my right hand,' naming him a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
A Psalme of David. The Lord said vnto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion: be thou ruler in the middes of thine enemies.
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.
The Lord sware and wil not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer after ye order of Melchi-zedek.
The Lord, that is at thy right hand, shall wound Kings in the day of his wrath.
He shalbe iudge among the heathen: he shall fill all with dead bodies, and smite the head ouer great countreis.
He shall drinke of the brooke in the way: therefore shall he lift vp his head.
