Psalm 110

Unless David is speaking of himself in the third person the opening line of this psalm appears to have been written by David before king Saul turned from following God. Yet David received an unusual promise from God; to be a priest in the manner of Melchizedek (vs 4). The full meaning of that promise is not evident in scriptures until the Hebrew writer explained it. God always works out hIs plans on his time table.
