**Title. A Psalm.** Hebrew. *mizmor.* App-65 .
**of David.** Relating to the true David, and interpreted of Him and by Him. See note below.
**The LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . Quoted in [Matthew 22:41-46](../../../kjv/matthew/22/41-46) . [Acts 2:34](../../../kjv/acts/2/34) , [Acts 2:35](../../../kjv/acts/2/35) .[Hebrews 1:13](../../../kjv/hebrews/1/13) .
**said.** Hebrew. *ne'um* Jehovah = "the Greekcle (or oracular utterance) of Jehovah". It is almost always used of the immediate direct utterance of Jehovah Himself; seldom of that of the prophet; ([Numbers 24:3](../../../kjv/numbers/24/3) , [Numbers 24:15](../../../kjv/numbers/24/15) ); David ([2 Samuel 23:1](../../../kjv/2-samuel/23/1) ).
**my Lord** = Adonai, App-4 . : i.e. David *'* s Lord: i.e. the Messiah. Compare [Matthew 22:41-46](../../../kjv/matthew/22/41-46) .
**Sit Thou, &c.** Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia.* App-6 .
**Until I make, &c.** Quoted or referred to seven times in N.T. ([Matthew 22:44](../../../kjv/matthew/22/44) .[Mark 12:36](../../../kjv/mark/12/36) . [Luke 20:42](../../../kjv/luke/20/42) .[Acts 2:34](../../../kjv/acts/2/34) .[Hebrews 1:13](../../../kjv/hebrews/1/13) ; [Hebrews 10:13](../../../kjv/hebrews/10/13) . [1 Corinthians 15:25](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/15/25) ).
**make Thine enemies Thy footstool** = set Thine enemies [as] a footstool for Thy feet. In the New Testament, Greek = *tithemi* (2 aor. subj.) = "shall have placed". [1 Corinthians 15:25](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/15/25) is the exception, where it is not "set as a footstool", but put "under", because Christ's session on His own throne ([Matthew 25:31](../../../kjv/matthew/25/31) .[Revelation 3:21](../../../kjv/revelation/3/21); [Revelation 3:21](../../../kjv/revelation/3/21) ) is there referred to, instead of His session on His Father's throne, as in all the other quotations.

**the rod of Thy strength** = Thy strong staff. Genitive of Character, App-17 . The reference is to the ancestral staff, marking the priest as well as the prince, and handed down here to Messiah, David's son.
**Zion.** See App-68 . Compare [Romans 11:25-27](../../../kjv/romans/11/25-27) .
**enemies** = foes.

**shall be.** Supply *Ellipsis* ( App-6 ) thus: "[shall offer] themselves for voluntary offerings, in the day that Thou warrest".
**willing** = freewill offerings, as in [Exodus 35:29](../../../kjv/exodus/35/29) ; [Exodus 36:3](../../../kjv/exodus/36/3) . 1Ch 29:9 , [1 Chronicles 29:14](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/29/14) , [1 Chronicles 29:17](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/29/17) . [Ezra 3:5](../../../kjv/ezra/3/5) ; [Ezra 8:28](../../../kjv/ezra/8/28) .
**the beauties of holiness.** Some codices, with two early printed editions, read "in (or on) the holy mountains".
**from the womb, &c.** Supply *Ellipsis* ( App-6 ): "[as the dew] from the womb before the morning I have begotten thee [a son]". Compare [Psalms 2:7](../../../kjv/psalms/2/7) . There should be no stop after the word "morning".
**youth** = a son.

**sworn.** Corresponding with "said" ([Psalms 110:1](../../../kjv/psalms/110/1) ).
**Thou:** i.e. Messiah (David's son and Lord), not David himself, who was not of the tribe of Levi.
**Thou art, &c.** Quoted in [Hebrews 5:6](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/6) ; [Hebrews 7:17](../../../kjv/hebrews/7/17) .
**After the order** . Compare [Genesis 14:18](../../../kjv/genesis/14/18) . [Hebrews 5:6](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/6) , [Hebrews 5:10](../../../kjv/hebrews/5/10) ; [Hebrews 6:20](../../../kjv/hebrews/6/20) ; [Hebrews 7:1-28](../../../kjv/hebrews/7/1-28) .
**Melchizedek.** His priesthood was unique, and did not pass to another, as did Aaron *'* s. Hence, Christ's priesthood, being in Resurrection life and Ascension glory, will continue for ever, and He will be a priest upon His throne ([Zechariah 6:13](../../../kjv/zechariah/6/13) ), and a priest for ever.

**The LORD*.** One of the 134 places where the *Sopherim* changed Jehovah to Adonai. See App-32 .

**heathen** = nations. Compare [Joel 3:9-17](../../../kjv/joel/3/9-17) . [Zechariah 14:1-4](../../../kjv/zechariah/14/1-4) .
**He shall fill, &c.** = "Let Him judge among the peoples [a region] full of corpses.
**heads** = head ([Revelation 19:11-21](../../../kjv/revelation/19/11-21) ): i.e. the Antichrist.
**many countries** = a great land.

**of** = from. The verse begins with this word (Hebrew = M = from), and thus corresponds with the "from" of [Psalms 110:3](../../../kjv/psalms/110/3) (member M, above).
**the head** = [his] head.
