Commentary · verses 2-4
Jesus is a Priest after the order of Melchizedek. See Genesis 14:18-20, Hebrews 5:6-10 and Hebrews 7:17,21. Also, this was one of the scriptures the crowd referenced in John 12:34 in response to Jesus' statement of His death. The crowd thought Jesus was the Messiah and would never die because of this verse and Psalm 89:4.
5The Lord at thy right hand Will strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6He will judge among the nations, He will fill the places with dead bodies; He will strike through the head in many countries.
7He will drink of the brook in the way: Therefore will he lift up the head.
5The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
7He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
Commentary · verses 5-7
This short psalm would have been a powerful teaching to the Pharisees if they had taken the time to understand all of it relative to Jesus: Lord and Priest - two offices the Pharisees needed to respect but did not.
Hebrews 1:13 referenced this verse. Jesus referenced this passage when He dealt with the Pharisees in Matthew 22:41-46 and Mark 12:36. The entire exchange rested on the definition of the word "Lord." Peter also referenced this passage during his sermon on Pentecost: Acts 2:34-35.
