The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.Ī. Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
James Montgomery Boice counted 27 direct quotations or indirect allusions to Psalm 110 in the New Testament. This remarkable psalm is one of the Old Testament portions most quoted in the New Testament. Yet as Derek Kinder noted: “Our Lord gave full weight to David’s authorship and David’s words, stressing the former twice by the expression ‘David himself’, and the latter by the comment that he was speaking ‘in the Holy Spirit’ (Mark 12:36f.).” Strangely, some scholars and commentators deny David’s authorship. This psalm carries the title A Psalm of David.
