Verse 44
44. The Lord said unto my Lord Our Lord quotes from Psalms 110:0. In this Psalm, (which has been applied by both the Jewish and Christian Church to the Messiah) David describes the Messiah as his own Lord sitting at the right hand of God, who subdues all his enemies beneath his feet. On my right hand The place of honour. The heir or highest dignitary customarily sat at the royal right hand nearest the king, the next in dignity on the king’s left. Till Sit until then; but the words do not imply that his royal state shall then cease. Thy footstool An allusion to the mode of ancient conquerors, who put their foot upon the heads of subjugated foes in token of their own supremacy.
