Context of Psalms 110:3
1The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit in the place of honor at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet.” 2The Lord will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem; you will rule over your enemies. When you go to war, your people will serve you willingly. You are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew. 4The Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” 5The Lord stands at your right hand to protect you. He will strike down many kings when his anger erupts.

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.
