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 Psalm of David. HaShem saith unto my lord: 'Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.'
The rod of Thy strength HaShem will send out of Zion: 'Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.'
Thy people offer themselves willingly in the day of thy warfare; in adornments of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, thine is the dew of thy youth.
HaShem hath sworn, and will not repent: 'Thou art a priest for ever after the manner of Melchizedek.'
The L-rd at thy right hand doth crush kings in the day of His wrath.
He will judge among the nations; He filleth it with the dead bodies, He crusheth the head over a wide land.
He will drink of the brook in the way; therefore will he lift up the head.
