Psalm 110 - The LORD Said to My Lord

Psalm 110 is an appropriate psalm for us as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday. The nations belong to Christ and as His rightful inheritance, all those nations and their rulers that wish to continue in His grace would be wise to recognize and submit to His reign. Martin Luther said of this psalm: “Christ cites this (glorious) Psalm, to confound the Pharisees. Indeed there is not a Psalm like it in the whole scripture; and it ought to be very dear unto the church; seeing that it confirms that great article of faith; Christ’s sitting at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. For Christ is here declared to be a King and Priest; sitting at God’s right hand, not only as truly man, but also as properly God; the Propitiator and Mediator between God and men; the Omnipotent and the Eternal!”The TextPsalm 110A Psalm of David.1 The LORD said to my Lord,“Sit at My right hand,Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.Rule in the midst of Your enemies!3 Your people shall be volunteersIn the day of Your power;In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning,You have the dew of Your youth.4 The LORD has swornAnd will not relent,“You are a priest foreverAccording to the order of Melchizedek.”5 The Lord is at Your right hand;He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath.6 He shall judge among the nations,He shall fill the places with dead bodies,He shall execute the heads of many countries.7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside;Therefore He shall lift up the head.Download this SFSDownload .mp3Download sheet music This is a public episode.
