The Rule, the Work and the Triumph of the Lord

In this royal psalm King David describes a ruler who is greater than himself, one who is his Lord and will sit at the right hand of the LORD. In the gospels Jesus refers to himself as the one that David was describing in this psalm and other New Testament passages make the same connection. This is a powerful and prophetic song that directs us to the glorious rule, the priestly work and the total triumph of Jesus Christ.
