Footnotes
- Psalm 110:1 The second lord in verse 1 is not one of the divine names that are usually rendered Lord or Lord. It is the common noun for lord. It does refer to Christ but as a description, not a title.
- Psalm 110:3 Verse 3 is cryptic. The translation is quite literal.
- Psalm 110:6 The translation combines the Hebrew and Greek variants.
- Psalm 110:6 Or crush the head of the wide world
