Psalms 110 · Grade 5

David's Lord, Priest Forever

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 110 is titled A Psalm by David, and it is the psalm the New Testament quotes most often. In verse 1, Yahweh says to David's Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet. David, the king, speaks of someone greater than himself as my Lord. In the New Testament, Jesus used this verse to show that the Messiah is more than David's son (Matthew 22:41-45).

The King rules from Zion, and his people offer themselves willingly in the day of his power, in holy array. Verse 4 records an oath: Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High who blessed Abraham (Genesis 14:18-20). In the New Testament, Hebrews argues that Jesus is a better High Priest, appointed by oath, who lives forever to intercede (Hebrews 7:17-25).

Verses 5-7 describe the Lord at the King's right hand judging among the nations and defeating rulers. The final image is quiet: He will drink of the brook on the way; therefore he will lift up his head. In the New Testament, Christians see Psalm 110 as a picture of Jesus, who sits at God's right hand as King and serves forever as Priest.
