110:1Here is the Lord’s proclamation1 to my lord:2
“Sit down at my right hand3 until I make your enemies your footstool!”4
Footnotes
- 1 The word נְאֻם (né’um) is used frequently in the OT of a formal divine announcement through a prophet.
- 2 My lord. In the psalm’s original context the speaker is an unidentified prophetic voice in the royal court. In the course of time the psalm is applied to each successive king in the dynasty and ultimately to the ideal Davidic king. NT references to the psalm understand David to be speaking about his “lord,” the Messiah. (See Matt 22:43–45; Mark 12:36–37; Luke 20:42–44; Acts 2:34–35).
- 3 To sit at the “right hand” of the king was an honor (see 1 Kgs 2:19). In Ugaritic myth ( 4 v. 108–10) the artisan god Kothar-and Khasis is described as sitting at the right hand of the storm god Baal. See G. R. Driver, Canaanite Myths and Legends, 61–62. The Lord’s invitation to the Davidic king to sit down at his right hand reflects the king’s position as the Lord’s vice-regent.
- 4 When the Lord made his covenant with David, he promised to subdue the king’s enemies (see 2 Sam 7:9–11; Ps 89:22–23).
