== Why Psalm 110 matters ==
 
−
Psalm 110 is frequently used in Christian argument because it combines:
 
−
* exalted royal language (“sit at my right hand”)
 
−
* and priestly language (“priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek” in v4)
 
−
 
−
== Psalm 110:1 (what it means, summary) ==
 
−
The verse portrays YHWH granting an honored position to “my lord,” with the promise of victory over enemies (footstool imagery). It is royal/exaltation language.
 
−
 
−
== Hebrew note (important in debate) ==
 
−
The phrase “my lord” in Psalm 110:1 uses a Hebrew form often used for a human superior. That does not settle the debate, but it warns against simplistic claims that the grammar alone proves deity.
 
−
 
−
== Common Jewish framing (summary) ==
 
−
Many Jewish readings treat Psalm 110 as a royal psalm connected to Davidic kingship (or court language), without concluding the figure is divine.
 
−
 
−
== Common Christian framing (summary) ==
 
−
Christians often read Psalm 110 messianically and connect it to:
 
−
* Jesus’ exaltation language in the New Testament
 
−
* priesthood themes developed especially in Hebrews
