And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
David spoke by the Spirit of inspiration when he called the Messiah his Lord and recorded God giving him a place at his right hand. Although prophecy names the Messiah as David's son, he is more than David's human descendant, so the title son of David does not fully describe who he is. David's own words in calling him Lord acknowledge his divine authority. Having his enemies made his footstool also points to that divine authority. The verse stands among Jesus' warnings about the consequences of rejecting the Son of God, applying to people in every age who refuse to receive him as Redeemer.
