Context of Psalms 110:3
1Here is the Lord’s proclamation to my lord: “Sit down at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool!” 2The Lord extends your dominion from Zion. Rule in the midst of your enemies! Your people willingly follow you when you go into battle. On the holy hills at sunrise the dew of your youth belongs to you. 4The Lord makes this promise on oath and will not revoke it: “You are an eternal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek.” 5O sovereign Lord, at your right hand he strikes down kings in the day he unleashes 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. 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.
