I have to admit, I had trouble with this one. Not in understanding and comprehending it per se, but in knowing how to 'discuss' it. My words will be so simplistic, compared to the good sermons I have heard on this passage.
This is a Messianic Psalm, but also a royal psalm of David. It is the most quoted psalm in the NT.
David, speaking of one to come, calls Him "Lord".....speaking of the Messiah. God had promised that one of David's descendants would be on the throne forever. he will have absolute rule over all!
His followers will serve Him willingly, without reluctance, and will be holy as He is holy They will display His beauty.
This One to come will be both King and Priest.
King over all......His enemies a footstool for Him shattering kings and judging the nations.
Priest forever.....appointed by God, not of the line of Aaron, and with no beginning and no end.
