在新约时代，人们认为诗篇第110篇是大卫所说的话，而耶稣正是基于这个理解，说明坐在神右边的弥赛亚的地位高过大卫，祂甚至是大卫的主 (参看马可福音12:35-37)。
新约圣经解释，耶稣的地位高过任何一位以色列英雄，耶稣不像任何一位以色列大祭司，却较像麦基洗德。麦基洗德是王也是祭司，希伯来书7:3以“无生之始，无命之终”来形容他。亚当从尘土出来，而耶稣则来自天上，耶稣说：“还没有亚伯拉罕就有了我！”(约翰福音8:58)。福音书形容耶稣大过大卫、所罗门，和约拿，祂大过圣殿，祂更是安息日之主。
耶稣赐给我们的恩典，实在远远超过我们可以或想像得到的。祂不单是我们的模范和老师，祂更是道成肉身的创造主。祂不单赦免了我们的罪，祂更把这些罪埋在最深的海洋里，永远不再提起它们。耶稣不单帮助我们抵挡试探，我们更与祂一同钉死，不再受试探的权势辖制。我们不单将来会回到天家，我们其实已经与基督一同坐在天上了 (以弗所书2:6)。因着祂无条件的爱，我们不用再担负我们的罪疚；因着耶稣坐在神的右边，祂和我们的每一个仇敌都服在祂的脚下。让我们为这数不尽的福分赞美祂吧！
主耶稣，祢是万有之主，我们赞美祢。求祢今天带领、安慰，和保守我们。奉祢的名祷告，阿们。
诗篇 110; 希伯来书 7:11-17
1耶和华对我主说： 你坐在我的右边， 等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳。
2耶和华必使你从锡安伸出能力的杖来； 你要在你仇敌中掌权。
3当你掌权的日子， 你的民要以圣洁的妆饰为衣， 甘心牺牲自己； 你的民多如清晨的甘露。
4耶和华起了誓，决不后悔，说： 你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司。
5在你右边的主， 当他发怒的日子，必打伤列王。
6他要在列邦中刑罚恶人， 尸首就遍满各处； 他要在许多国中打破仇敌的头。
7他要喝路旁的河水， 因此必抬起头来。
11从前百姓在利未人祭司职任以下受律法，倘若藉这职任能得完全，又何用另外兴起一位祭司，照麦基洗德的等次，不照亚伦的等次呢？
12祭司的职任既已更改，律法也必须更改。
13因为这话所指的人本属别的支派，那支派里从来没有一人伺候祭坛。
14我们的主分明是从犹大出来的；但这支派，摩西并没有提到祭司。
15倘若照麦基洗德的样式，另外兴起一位祭司来，我的话更是显而易见的了。
16他成为祭司，并不是照属肉体的条例，乃是照无穷之生命的大能。
17因为有给他作见证的说：“你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司。”
The Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” — Psalm 110:1
In New Testament times, Psalm 110 was understood as spoken by David. Jesus used this assumption to show that the Messiah at God’s right hand is superior to David and is even the Lord of David (see Mark 12:35-37).
The New Testament explains that Jesus is superior to every hero in Israel. Jesus is not like any Israelite high priest but is more like Melchizedek, who was both king and priest, and is described in Hebrews 7:3 as being “without beginning of days or end of life.” Whereas Adam was made from dust, Jesus is from heaven. “Before Abraham was born, I am!” said Jesus (John 8:58). The gospels describe Jesus as greater than David, Solomon, and Jonah; greater than the temple; and Lord of the Sabbath.
Jesus offers us much more than we can think or imagine. Not only is he our example and teacher; he is our creator God in our flesh. Not only does he forgive our sins; he also buries them in the deepest sea, remembering them no more. Not only does Jesus help us fight temptation; we also are crucified with him and dead to temptation’s power. Not only are we going to heaven; we are also already seated in the heavenly realms with Christ (Ephesians 2:6). Because of his unconditional love, we no longer have to carry our guilt. Because Jesus sits at God’s right hand, every enemy of his and ours is under his feet. Praise Jesus for his countless blessings!
Lord Jesus, we praise you for being Lord of everything. Guide and comfort and sustain us today, we pray. Amen.
