Psalm 110
Psalm 110 Meaning
Psalm 110 is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament. It records the LORD saying to David's Lord, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool, and declares him a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
It joins two offices that were kept separate in Israel, king and priest, in one victorious figure who reigns and intercedes.
