Psalm 110 - A Jewish Perspective

In an attempt to prove the Divinity of the Messiah, Christians misquote Psalm 110:1 as, "The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies thy footstool,” and verse 4 stating, “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek."

Such quotations may sound impressive, overwhelming and confusing to anyone with only a passing knowledge of Judaism and with no command of the Hebrew language.
