Context of Psalms 110:3

1The Lord God said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right side until I win against your enemies. Then you will be able to put your feet on them.’ 2The Lord will give you great authority, as you rule from Zion. You will rule over all your enemies that are round you. When you go to fight your enemies, your people will be happy to fight beside you. As the sun rises on the day of battle, your young men will be there, on the hills round Zion. 4The Lord has made a strong promise. He will not change it. He has promised, ‘You will be a priest for ever, in the same way that Melchizedek was my priest.’ 5The Lord is standing at your right side. When he becomes angry, he will knock down kings!

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. It has been supposed to point out the irresistible operation of the grace of God on the souls of the elect, thereby making them willing to receive Christ as their Savior.
