Many also read the word in the singular number. drop the prefix ל le and read the word in the genitive case, with the Septuagint, Vulgate, and Arabic. הדם לרגליך hadom leragleycha, "the footstool to thy feet." But eight MSS. seems to have read ליהוה layhovah, "Jehovah said unto Jehovah, 'Sit thou on my right hand,'" c. Instead of לאדני ladoni, "my Lord," one MS. Before I proceed to take a general view of it, I shall set down the chief of the various readings found in the MSS. All the critics and commentators whom I have consulted apply it to our Lord nor does it appear to me to be capable of interpretation on any other ground. Many of the later Jews also have granted that it applied to the Messiah, though they dispute its application to Jesus of Nazareth. Nor was there any attempt to contradict them not even an intimation that they had misapplied it, or mistaken its meaning. Paul, 1 Corinthians 15:25 Hebrews 1:13 Hebrews 5:6 Hebrews 5:10 Hebrews 7:17 Hebrews 10:12-13, apply it to show that Jesus is the Messiah. That the Jews who lived in the time of our Lord believed this Psalm to have been written by David, and that it spoke of the Messiah alone, is evident from this, that when our Lord quoted it, and drew arguments from it in favour of his mission, Matthew 22:42, they did not attempt to gainsay it. Where has there ever appeared a prince in whom all these characters met? There never was one, nor is it possible that there ever can be one such, the Person excepted to whom the Psalm is applied by the authority of the Holy Spirit himself. A King is described here who is David's Lord, and sits at the right hand of God a conqueror, reigning at Jerusalem, King from all eternity-having an everlasting priesthood, Judge of all nations, triumphing over all potentates, indefatigable in all his operations, and successful in all his enterprises. Some refer it to Hezekiah, and others to Zerubbabel, c.: but the bare reading of the Psalm will show the vanity of these pretensions. Others say it was done by David, in commemoration of his victory over the Philistines.
Some have attributed it to Eliezer, the servant or steward of Abraham and state that he composed it on the occasion of his master's victory over the four kings at the valley of Shaveh, Genesis 14:14-17. The Jews, aware of the advantage which the Christian religion must derive from this Psalm, have laboured hard and in vain to give it a contrary sense. To Jesus Christ alone, to his everlasting priesthood and government, as King of kings and Lord of lords, can it be applied. We have in it the celebration of some great potentates accession to the crown but the subject is so grand, the expressions so noble, and the object raised so far above what can be called human, that no history has ever mentioned a prince to whom a literal application of this Psalm can be made. The Hebrew, and all the Versions, except the Arabic, attribute this Psalm to David: nor can this be doubted, as it is thus attributed in the New Testament see the places in the margin. The reason on which all this is founded, his passion and His execution of justice and judgment, 5, 6.
