Psalms 110

David prophecieth of the power and everlasting kingdom given to Christ, 4 And of his Priesthood, which should put an end to the Priesthood of Leví.
¶ A Psalme of David.
1.The aLord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy fotestole.
2.The Lord shal send the rod of thy power out of bZión: be thou ruler in the middes of thine enemies.
3.Thy people shal come willingly at the time of assembling: cthine armie in holie beautie: the youth of thy wombe shalbe as the morning dewe.
4.The Lord sware and wil not repent, Thou art a Priest for ever after the ordre of dMelchi-zédek.
5.The Lord, that is at thy right hand, shal wound Kings in the daie of his wrath.
6.He shalbe Judge among the heathen: he shal fil all with dead bodies, and smite the ehead over great countries.
7.He shal fdrink of the brook in the way: therefore shal he lift up his head.

By your word your people shall be assembled into your Church, whose increase shall be so abundant and wonderful, as the drops of the dew.

As Melchizedek the figure of Christ was both King and Priest: so the effect cannot be accomplished in any King, save only in Christ. 2 Chron. 26.21.
6-e.
No power shall be able to resist him.
7-f.
Under this similitude of a captain, that is so greedy to destroy his enemies, that he will not scares drink by the way, he shows how God will destroy his enemies.
