Mazmur 110:2

110:2 The Lord ¹  extends ²  your dominion ³  from Zion.

Rule in the midst of your enemies!

[110:2]  ¹ tn Since the Lord is mentioned in the third person (note the use of the first person in v. 1), it is likely that these are the psalmist’s words to the king, not a continuation of the oracle per se.

[110:2]  ² tn The prefixed verbal form is understood here as descriptive-dramatic or as generalizing, though it could be taken as future.

[110:2]  ³ tn Heb “your strong scepter,” symbolic of the king’s royal authority and dominion.
