Psalm 110
The LORD (yhwh) says to my Lord (âḏôn);
“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
The LORD (yhwh) sends forth from Zion
your mighty scepter.
Rule in the midst of your enemies!
Your people will offer themselves freely
on the day of your power,
in holy garments;
from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.
The LORD (yhwh) has sworn
and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord (ăḏônây) is at your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
He will execute judgment among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
he will shatter chiefs
over the wide earth.
He will drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.
Who is this Lord? Christ or David?
Jesus clearly says David is speaking of the Christ. See cross references, Matt. 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42, 43; Acts 2:34, 35
Note the 3 different Hebrew words for Lord used in this Psalm.
Yhwh - clearly a reference to God.
Adon - if you do the search is used for master, lord, etc. of humans or anyone who is head or ruler of something, house or nation. This does not rule out it being a reference to The Christ. Jesus interprets it in this way.
Adonay - again a reference to God. Interestingly it seems to take "adon" the earthly master/king and combines it with "yhwh," The King/God. Thus pulling together the two "Lords" into One.
This is another wonderful picture of the unity, the Oneness of God.
