In biblical context, the "right hand" is often associated with power and honor (<a href="/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110:1</a>). The "man at Your right hand" can be seen as a reference to a chosen leader or king, possibly reflecting the Davidic line. In a broader theological sense, this phrase is seen as a messianic prophecy pointing to Jesus Christ, who 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>). The right hand signifies a place of privilege and power, indicating that the individual is under God's protection and blessing.<p><b>on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself</b><br>The term "son of man" is a significant biblical title. In the Old Testament, it often refers to humanity in general, emphasizing human frailty (<a href="/psalms/8-4.htm">Psalm 8:4</a>). However, in prophetic literature, it takes on a messianic connotation, as seen in <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a>, where the "Son of Man" is given dominion and glory. In the New Testament, Jesus frequently uses this title for Himself, highlighting both His humanity and His divine mission (<a href="/matthew/26-64.htm">Matthew 26:64</a>). The phrase "You have raised up for Yourself" suggests divine election and purpose, indicating that this individual is chosen by God for a specific role in His redemptive plan. This aligns with the understanding of Jesus as the one whom God has appointed and exalted for the salvation of humanity (<a href="/acts/2-32.htm">Acts 2:32-36</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_man_at_your_right_hand.htm">The Man at Your Right Hand</a></b><br>This phrase is often interpreted as a reference to a leader or king, possibly a messianic figure.
