In ancient Near Eastern culture, the right hand was a symbol of strength and honor. The "Lord" here refers to God, who is depicted as supporting and empowering the king, traditionally understood as the Messiah. This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages where God is described as being at the right hand of His people, providing protection and victory (<a href="/psalms/16-8.htm">Psalm 16:8</a>, <a href="/psalms/121-5.htm">Psalm 121:5</a>). Theologically, this can be seen as a foreshadowing of Christ's exaltation, as He is seated at the right hand of God (<a href="/mark/16-19.htm">Mark 16:19</a>, <a href="/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3</a>).<p><b>He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.</b><br>This phrase speaks to divine judgment and the ultimate victory over earthly powers. The imagery of crushing kings suggests a decisive and overwhelming defeat, which is a common theme in prophetic literature (<a href="/isaiah/24-21.htm">Isaiah 24:21</a>, <a href="/revelation/19-15.htm">Revelation 19:15</a>). The "day of His wrath" refers to a time of judgment, often associated with the Day of the Lord, a future event when God will execute justice and establish His kingdom (<a href="/zephaniah/1-14.htm">Zephaniah 1:14-18</a>, <a href="/joel/2.htm">Joel 2:1-11</a>). This can be seen as a messianic prophecy, pointing to Christ's return when He will judge the nations and establish His eternal reign (<a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31-46</a>, <a href="/revelation/19-11.htm">Revelation 19:11-21</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The Lord (Yahweh)</a></b><br>In this context, "The Lord" refers to God, who is depicted as a divine warrior and judge.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/y/your_right_hand.htm">Your Right Hand</a></b><br>This phrase signifies a position of power and authority.

It is He who stretched out the sceptre and conferred the office of priest; and hitherto the king has been the person addressed.

Ver. 5 carries on the description of Messiah's triumph begun in ver. 3. The kings to be "struck through" are those that resist the progress of the gospel - Herod Agrippa, Galerius, Julian, and the like. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/110-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">The Lord</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲדֹנָ֥י</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·ḏō·nāy)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_136.htm">Strong's 136: </a> </span><span class="str2">The Lord</span><br /><br /><span class="word">is at</span><br /><span class="heb">עַל־</span> <span class="translit">(‘al-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> </span><span class="str2">Above, over, upon, against</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Your right hand;</span><br /><span class="heb">יְמִֽינְךָ֑</span> <span class="translit">(yə·mî·nə·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3225.htm">Strong's 3225: </a> </span><span class="str2">The right hand, side, the south</span><br /><br /><span class="word">He will crush</span><br /><span class="heb">מָחַ֖ץ</span> <span class="translit">(mā·ḥaṣ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4272.htm">Strong's 4272: </a> </span><span class="str2">To dash asunder, to crush, smash, violently plunge, to subdue, destroy</span><br /><br /><span class="word">kings</span><br /><span class="heb">מְלָכִֽים׃</span> <span class="translit">(mə·lā·ḵîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> </span><span class="str2">A king</span><br /><br /><span class="word">in the day</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּיוֹם־</span> <span class="translit">(bə·yō·wm-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> </span><span class="str2">A day</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of His wrath.</span><br /><span class="heb">אַפּ֣וֹ</span> <span class="translit">(’ap·pōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_639.htm">Strong's 639: </a> </span><span class="str2">The nose, nostril, the face, a person, ire</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/110-5.htm">Psalm 110:5 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/110-5.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 110:5 The Lord is at your right hand (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/110-4.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 110:4"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 110:4" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/110-6.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 110:6"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 110:6" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
