Psalm 110:1-7


Salutation

... in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.  Amen.  Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us.  Amen.  Glory to You, our God, Glory to You.

O Heavenly King: Prayer to the Holy Ghost

O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, You are everywhere and fill all things, Treasury of blessings, and Giver of life: come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.

Psalm 110:1-7[1]

A Psalm of David.

The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”  The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength from Zion.  Rule in the heart of Your enemies.

Your people [shall be] willing in the day of Your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning.  You have the dew of Your youth.  The Lord has sworn, and will not repent.  You [are] a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

The Lord at Your right hand shall strike through kings in the day of His fury.  He shall judge among the heathen.  He shall fill [the places] with the dead bodies.  He shall wound the heads over many countries.  He shall drink of the brook in the way.  Therefore He shall lift up the head.

If you have been blessed or helped by any of these meditations in Psalms, please repost or share all of them.



[1] This may be the most frequently quoted Psalm in the New Testament: Matthew 22:44; Mark 12:16; Luke 20:43; Acts 2:35; Hebrews 6:20; 7:1-28; 8:1-5.  Hebrews shows how this Psalm is prophetic of Jesus, by giving us the detailed meaning of the Psalm.  The promises of Psalm 2 are also fulfilled in this Psalm.  The judgment speaks of the course of history since 33 AD, as man continues to war against God.  The brook shows us the close relationship that Jesus and the Holy Spirit have through the Father.  This relationship extends to The Church, the body of Christ, as she continues to lift up her Head.  He, Jesus lifts up His head (Himself) through the Holy Spirits work in and through The Church.
