This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The LORD said, &c. = Jehovah said unto Adonai. Quoted from Psa_110:1. See App-4; App-98. For the principle underlying the form of quotation, see App-107 and App-117.
till, &c. = until I shall have (Greek. an) set Thine enemies as a footstool for Thy feet. The first of seven references to Psa_110:1 in the N.T. (here; Mar_12:36. Luk_20:42. Act_2:34. 1Co_15:25. Heb_1:13; Heb_10:13). All refer to Messiah's session on the Father's throne until His enemies shall be placed "as a footstool for His feet", except 1Co_15:25, where they are at length put in subjection to the Son (Adonai) "under His feet." In all the six, the enemies are placed as a footstool by Jehovah, but in 1Co_15:25 they are placed "under" by Adonai Himself. This was subject to Israel's repentance. See notes on Mat_10:23; Mat_16:28; Mat_23:39; Mat_24:34. Act_8:19-26; Act_28:25-26.
