What happensPermalink
David looks forward to the triumphant victory of the Messianic King. Following His victory, He will be exalted as both king and priest, and all people will praise Him. The Messiah will subdue nations, judging them and overthrowing rulers so that all may serve the true King.
Why it mattersPermalink
This psalm is quoted throughout the New Testament, including the Gospels, Acts, Paul’s letters, Hebrews (repeatedly), and Peter’s letters. It confirms Jesus as the eternal Davidic King and the ultimate high priest, fulfilling both offices perfectly.
