The "day of battle" can be interpreted as a time of divine intervention or judgment, often associated with the eschatological "Day of the Lord." The willingness of the people indicates a readiness to serve and support the Messiah, reflecting a transformation of hearts and minds. This can be connected to the New Testament concept of believers being willing participants in the spiritual battles described in <a href="/ephesians/6-10.htm">Ephesians 6:10-18</a>. Historically, this willingness can be seen in the dedication of the Israelites during times of national crisis, such as in the days of King David, who is traditionally attributed as the author of this psalm.<p><b>Arrayed in holy splendor,</b><br>The imagery of being "arrayed in holy splendor" suggests a priestly or kingly attire, symbolizing purity, righteousness, and divine favor. This attire is reminiscent of the garments worn by the priests in the Old Testament, as described in <a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28</a>. It signifies the sanctification and consecration of the Messiah's followers, who are set apart for a holy purpose. This can also be seen as a type of the glorified state of believers, as mentioned in <a href="/revelation/19-8.htm">Revelation 19:8</a>, where the saints are clothed in fine linen, representing righteous acts.<p><b>from the womb of the dawn,</b><br>The phrase "from the womb of the dawn" evokes the image of a new beginning or a fresh start, much like the birth of a new day. It suggests the emergence of something pure and untainted, symbolizing the renewal and rejuvenation that comes with the Messiah's reign. This can be linked to the resurrection of Christ, who is described as the "firstborn from the dead" in <a href="/colossians/1-18.htm">Colossians 1:18</a>, bringing new life to His followers. The dawn also represents hope and the fulfillment of God's promises, as seen in <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>, where God's mercies are new every morning.<p><b>to You belongs the dew of Your youth.</b><br>The "dew of Your youth" symbolizes vitality, strength, and freshness. Dew is often associated with blessing and abundance in the Bible, as seen in <a href="/genesis/27-28.htm">Genesis 27:28</a>. This phrase can be interpreted as the perpetual vigor and eternal nature of the Messiah's reign, emphasizing His divine nature and unending life. It also reflects the rejuvenating power of the Messiah, who renews and sustains His people. This can be connected to <a href="/isaiah/40-31.htm">Isaiah 40:31</a>, where those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. The imagery of youth and dew together underscores the idea of an everlasting kingdom, full of life and energy.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The divine speaker in <a href="/bsb/psalms/110.htm">Psalm 110</a>, addressing the Messiah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_messiah.htm">The Messiah (Adonai)</a></b><br>The anointed king and priest, traditionally understood as a prophecy about Jesus Christ.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_people_of_god.htm">The People of God</a></b><br>Those who willingly follow and serve the Messiah in His day of power.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_day_of_battle.htm">The Day of Battle</a></b><br>Symbolic of the time when the Messiah exercises His authority and power.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_womb_of_the_dawn.htm">The Womb of the Dawn</a></b><br>A poetic expression indicating the freshness and newness of the Messiah's reign.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/w/willingness_to_serve.htm">Willingness to Serve</a></b><br>Believers are called to willingly serve Christ, reflecting the readiness and devotion of His people in the day of His power.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_in_service.htm">Holiness in Service</a></b><br>The phrase "arrayed in holy splendor" emphasizes the importance of living a life set apart for God, marked by purity and righteousness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/renewal_and_strength.htm">Renewal and Strength</a></b><br>"From the womb of the dawn" suggests a continual renewal and strength that comes from God, encouraging believers to seek His presence daily.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/y/youthful_zeal.htm">Youthful Zeal</a></b><br>The "dew of Your youth" symbolizes vigor and enthusiasm in serving the Lord, reminding us to maintain our passion for God's work.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_warfare.htm">Spiritual Warfare</a></b><br>The imagery of battle calls Christians to be prepared for spiritual warfare, equipped with the armor of God as described in <a href="/bsb/ephesians/6.htm">Ephesians 6</a>.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_110.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 110</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_isn't_psalm_110_3's_event_recorded.htm">If Psalm 110:3 implies a miraculous gathering of volunteers, why is there no mention of such an unprecedented event in known historical documents? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/where_is_psalm_110's_conquest_fulfilled.htm">Psalm 110 portrays a victorious king judging entire nations.

The word rendered <span class= "ital">force </span>means either "strength" or "an army;" and the noun <span class= "ital">willingnesses </span>appears as a verb in <a href="/judges/5-9.htm" title="My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people.

We may therefore translate: <span class= "ital">Thy people will be willing on thy muster-day.</span><p>As to the next two-words there is a variation in the text. Many MSS. read, by the slightest change of a Hebrew letter, "on the holy mountains" (this was also, according to one version, the reading of Symmachus and Jerome), and, adopting the reading, we have a picture of the people mustering for battle with alacrity on the mountains round Zion, under the eye of Jehovah Himself, and in obedience to the outstretched sceptre.<p>The second clause is not so clear. By themselves the words "from the womb of morning dew of thy youth," would naturally be taken as a description of the vigour and freshness of the person addressed: "thine is the morning dew of youth." With the image compare--<p>"The meek-eyed morn appears; <span class= "ital">mother of the dews."</span><p>THOMSON.<p>(Comp. <a href="/job/38-28.htm" title="Has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew?">Job 38:28</a>.)<p>But the parallelism directs us still to the gathering of the army, and the image of the <span class= "ital">dew </span>was familiar to the language as an emblem at once of <span class= "ital">multitude </span>(<a href="/context/2_samuel/17-11.htm" title="Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered to you, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that you go to battle in your own person.">2Samuel 17:11-12</a>), of <span class= "ital">freshness </span>and <span class= "ital">vigour </span>(<a href="/psalms/133-3.htm" title="As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended on the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for ever more.">Psalm 133:3</a>; <a href="/hosea/14-5.htm" title="I will be as the dew to Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.">Hosea 14:5</a>), and was especially applied to Israel as a nation in immediate relation to Jehovah, coming and going among the nations at His command (<a href="/micah/5-7.htm" title="And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the middle of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers on the grass, that tarries not for man, nor waits for the sons of men.">Micah 5:7</a>).

This is the division of the clauses now generally adopted; but the intention of this last clause is very doubtful. Some understand it of Messiah himself, and explain, "As the dew of the morning, abundant, refreshing, spreading far and wide, miraculous, so is the might of thy perpetual youth" ('Speaker's Commentary,' vol. 4. p. 428); others, and the larger number, interpret it of Messiah's army, "As dew out el the early morning dawn, descending by a silent, mysterious birth from the star-lit heaven, so comes to Messiah his mighty host of followers" (comp. <a href="/isaiah/26-19.htm">Isaiah 26:19</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/110-3.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">Your people</span><br /><span class="heb">עַמְּךָ֣</span> <span class="translit">(‘am·mə·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
