What Psalm 110 Is Really Doing

The LORD said to my Lord: sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.

One sentence.

Ten Hebrew words.

The most quoted Old Testament verse in the entire New Testament.

Jesus uses it to stump the Pharisees: how can David call his own descendant Lord?

Hebrews uses it to construct the argument for Christ’s Melchizedek priesthood.

And yet, read in its original Hebrew context, Psalm 110 is obscure.

Who is speaking?

Who is the LORD and who is the Lord?

What does priest after the order of Melchizedek mean?
