“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
A Psalm of David. The LORD says to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.' This messianic psalm opens with a divine declaration establishing a royal figure ('my Lord') in a position of ultimate authority at God's 'right hand.' The footstool image represents complete subjugation of enemies beneath the king's dominion. This verse establishes the foundation for royal-priestly Christology: the king receives permanent exaltation and cosmic authority from God.
