Psalms 110

अवलोकन

A royal psalm of David — the most frequently cited Old Testament text in the New Testament — declaring 'The Lord says to my Lord: Sit at my right hand.' God promises dominion, willing followers, and priestly status after the order of Melchizedek. Jesus cites it to show the Messiah is more than David's son.
