A very beautiful Psalm.
V.1 Notice the word “Lord.” The letters of the word are different. “The LORD said unto my Lord.” The first word LORD means “Jehovah” and the next word Lord is “Adonai” and refers to the Lord Jesus. Now this word is new to most of us and it means God for the Lord Jesus was God, as well as man. In Luke 20:41-44, you will see that the Jews didn’t understand this at all.
V.2-3 In Psalm 109, the Lord speaks of Himself as “poor and needy.” But what a place of honor is His! He has ascended, and receives such a high place. In Philippians 2:5-11, the Lord Jesus went down, down so very low, to the shameful death of the cross. But He has now received such a wonderful place of honor, and He will yet reign over willing people — the people on the earth, not us — and will put all His enemies down. And we shall be with Him to share it with Him. Let us not try to get the honor of this world now, but wait for the day when we shall share the honor that He has won.
V.7 This can refer to the Lord Jesus in His perfect dependence all the way along His lowly life here on earth. He was glad of the refreshment He received from God, but He never went out of the path of dependence. May we be refreshed in the same way and “lift up the head.”
