Psalms 110:6 - Exposition

He shall judge among the heathen ; i . e . execute the royal office not only over Israel, but over the nations of the earth generally (comp. Psalms 7:9 ; Psalms 9:9 ; Psalms 96:10 , etc.). He shall fill the places with the dead bodies ; rather, he shall fill the earth with dead bodies ; i . e . with the corpses of those whom he has slain while executing judgment. He shall wound the heads over many countries . Thus translated, the clause merely repeats Psalms 110:5 . Perhaps a better rendering is that of Dr. Kay, "He shall smite him that is head over the wide earth"—either Satan or "the central power of the whole confederacy of evil."
