Context of Psalms 110:3

1This is the declaration of the Lord to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.” 2The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion. Rule over your surrounding enemies. Your people will volunteer on your day of battle. In holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, the dew of your youth belongs to you. 4The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back: “You are a priest forever according to the pattern of Melchizedek.” 5The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his anger.

Commentaries on Psalms 110:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power - This verse has been wofully perverted.
