Psalm 110 stands as a purely prophetic Messianic psalm, uniquely referring to Jesus Christ and no one else. It cannot apply to David or any other figure, as it prophesies of the anointed God-Priest-King of the line of David. Unlike the Old Testament Davidic kings who could not act as priests, and the Maccabean kings who were Levites and not Davidic, only Christ fits this description. Though sometimes categorized as a royal psalm due to possible use in coronation liturgy for Davidic kings, it is more fittingly seen as purely prophetic, focusing solely on Christ. This psalm is divided into two parts: verses 1 through 3 and verses 4 through 7, presenting two back-to-back oracles or prophetic declarations from God. The first oracle in verse 1, with its fulfillment glimpsed in verses 2 and 3, declares the Father's command to Christ to sit at His right hand until His enemies are made His footstool. The second oracle in verse 4, accompanied by an irrevocable oath from God that He will not relent, is followed by a glimpse of its fulfillment in verses 5 through 7. Notably, verse 1 is the most quoted Old Testament verse in the New Testament, cited 14 times and alluded to in several other instances. The language in some verses of Psalm 110 can be obscure, leading to varied translations, but the core message remains clear through the context of David as the prophetic author, as verified by both Jesus and Peter. In verse 1, three distinct figures are present: the Father (Yahweh), David (the speaker), and Christ (David's Master or Lord), establishing the Father-Son relationship and the divine hierarchy. The time setting of verse 1 aligns with Christ's ascension to heaven after His resurrection, when the Father commands Him to sit at His right hand. By verses 2 and 3, the focus shifts to Christ's second coming, where His people are described as volunteers, willingly offering themselves as living sacrifices to serve Him and join the great army that defeats His enemies. This victory is further depicted in the remaining verses of the psalm, promising triumph for those who endure to the end.
