The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath - the description of the final and decisive blow inflicted by Messiah and His hosts on the enemies. David, as representative of Israel, addresses Messiah: 'the Lord ( 'Adonaay (H136)) at thy (Messiah's) right hand' resumes Psalms 110:1 (cf. Psalms 109:31). His sitting at the right hand of Yahweh now ensures that 'the Lord (Hebrew, 'Adonaay (H136)) shall stand at His (Messiah's) right hand,' as His Almighty Ally, in striking through hostile kings in the coming day of His wrath. As in Psalms 109:31 He stood at the right hand, and helped the seed of David when poor (i:e., Christ in His humiliation), so here, in His exaltation, He stands at Messiah's right hand, and by Him smites through kings. I prefer in this interpretation, which is Hengstenberg's, to read Yahweh for 'Adonaay (H136), for Yahweh, in Psalms 110:1, represented God the Father, and 'Adonaay (H136), God the Son. If we retain 'Adonaay (H136), Messiah seems to be meant by it, as in Psalms 110:1, He is represented at the right hand of God the Father; and He is the subject of the verbs, "judge ... fill,' etc. in Psalms 110:6-7. 'Adonaay (H136) Messiah at GOD'S right hand (cf. Psalms 110:1) strikes through kings, etc. Eighteen manuscripts and one edition of Kennicott read Yahweh for 'Adonaay (H136) (Rogers). "The day of His wrath" is 'the day of His power' (Psalms 110:3; Psalms 2:5; Psalms 2:12: cf. Psalms 68:21-23; Psalms 2:9; Psalms 18:38; Revelation 6:17; Revelation 11:18).
