Scripture Union Daily Guide 9th February 2026 Outline
David perhaps wrote this Psalm to be sung by the temple singers to celebrate the establishment of his throne in Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:6-12). He, by his conquest of Jerusalem, believed that God has given him victory over all his enemies and invited him to sit in the place of supreme power (Psalms 110:1). From the hill of Zion in Jerusalem, David rules his people and condemns all his enemies (Psalms 110:2), with the aid of his loyal subjects who are committed to serving his monarchy and fighting his battles (Psalms 110:3).
At the same time, it appears that David was inspired by the Holy Spirit to prophesy in the psalm about the promised Messiah (Psalms 110:1). After His death, Jesus was raised by the Father and was exalted to His right hand (see Acts 2:33). By His victory over Satan and death, King Jesus overcame all His enemies. They are all set under His feet like a mere footstool. The mighty scepter was a sign of the king’s power and authority arrayed in holy majesty (Psalms 110:3).
In Psalms 110:4, Jesus is referred to as a Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek (Genesis 14:18-20; cf. Hebrews 5:7-10). Jesus is not only our King, but also our High Priest, having offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins to bring us to God (Hebrews 7:26-27).
