David is known for his deep relationship with God and his role as a prophet. The psalm is considered a royal psalm, often associated with the Davidic covenant, which promised an everlasting kingdom through David's lineage (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>).<p><b>The LORD said to my Lord:</b><br>The first "LORD" refers to Yahweh, the covenant name of God in the Hebrew Bible. The second "Lord" (Adonai) is a title of respect and authority. This phrase is significant in the New Testament, where Jesus uses it to demonstrate His divinity and messianic identity (<a href="/matthew/22-41.htm">Matthew 22:41-45</a>). It implies a conversation between God the Father and the Messiah, who is greater than David.<p><b>Sit at My right hand</b><br>Sitting at the right hand is a position of honor and authority, often reserved for a trusted advisor or heir. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the right hand symbolized power and strength. This phrase is frequently cited in the New Testament to affirm Christ's exaltation and His role as the eternal High Priest and King (<a href="/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3, 8</a>:1).<p><b>until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.</b><br>This imagery of a footstool signifies total victory and subjugation of enemies. In ancient times, conquering kings would place their feet on the necks of defeated foes as a sign of triumph. This prophecy points to the ultimate victory of the Messiah over all opposition, a theme echoed in <a href="/1_corinthians/15-25.htm">1 Corinthians 15:25-27</a>, where Paul speaks of Christ's reign until all enemies are defeated, including death itself.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, representing His eternal and sovereign nature.

In the context of this Psalm, it is often interpreted as referring to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, who is acknowledged as Lord by David.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of the Psalm, King David, is speaking prophetically about the Messiah.
