AB - This paper attempts to interpret and apply Psalm 110. Psalm 110 is the most cited Old Testament text in the New Testament. This psalm was interpreted as a text that predicted the ministry and activity of Jesus Christ, thus forming a firm foundation of messianic thought. In particular, the references to the 'sitting on the right side of the throne of God' and the 'eternal priesthood in the order of Melchizedek' were the main text to be read as prophecy of Jesus Christ. However, Psalm 110’s meaning cannot be confined to a messianic prophecy of Jesus Christ. Originally, Psalm 110 was a psalm that was used as a so-called "Royal Psalm" from the time of ancient Israel. These meanings are compatible, for the psalm can be understood as a psalm with prophetic meaning about Jesus Christ, as well as a text that refers to Christians as "priest-kings" who are admitted as children of God to be people of covenant by faith. In that sense, Psalm 110 has the following three dimensions: First, Psalm 110 is a psalm about the ancient Israelite king of Zion, who completes the reign of Yahweh.
Second, Psalm 110 is a prophecy of Jesus Christ performing the duties of a priest-king on the right side of the throne of God.
Third, Psalm 110 is a promise to Christians who participate in God's reign with Christ.
