110:2The Lord5 extends6 your dominion7 from Zion.

Rule in the midst of your enemies!

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 5 Since the Lord is mentioned in the third person (note the use of the first person in v. 1), it is likely that these are the psalmist’s words to the king, not a continuation of the oracle per se.
  2. 6 The prefixed verbal form is understood here as descriptive-dramatic or as generalizing, though it could be taken as future.
  3. 7 Heb “your strong scepter,” symbolic of the king’s royal authority and dominion.
