of David. Relating to the true David, and interpreted of Him and by Him. See note below.
The LORD. Hebrew. Jehovah.App-4. Quoted in Mat_22:41-46. Act_2:34, Act_2:35. Heb_1:13.
said. Hebrew. ne'um Jehovah = "the Greekcle (or oracular utterance) of Jehovah". It is almost always used of the immediate direct utterance of Jehovah Himself; seldom of that of the prophet; (Num_24:3, Num_24:15); David (2Sa_23:1).
my Lord = Adonai, App-4. : i.e. David's Lord: i.e. the Messiah. Compare Mat_22:41-46.
Sit Thou, &c. Figure of speech Anthropopatheia.App-6.
Until I make, &c. Quoted or referred to seven times in N.T. (Mat_22:44. Mar_12:36. Luk_20:42. Act_2:34. Heb_1:13; Heb_10:13. 1Co_15:25).
make Thine enemies Thy footstool = set Thine enemies [as] a footstool for Thy feet. In the New Testament, Greek = tithemi (2 aor. subj.) = "shall have placed". 1Co_15:25 is the exception, where it is not "set as a footstool", but put "under", because Christ's session on His own throne (Mat_25:31. Rev_3:21) is there referred to, instead of His session on His Father's throne, as in all the other quotations.
