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.
> Yahweh says to my Lord, \"Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.\"
Yahweh will send forth the rod of your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies.
Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.
Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: \"You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.\"
The Lord is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his wrath.
He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.
He will drink of the brook in the way; Therefore he will lift up his head.
