Psalms 110:5

The Lord at thy right hand - See the notes at Psalms 16:8.

Shall strike through kings - The Hebrew word here rendered "shall strike," - from mâchats - means "to shake, to agitate" ; and then, "to shake in pieces, to dash in pieces, to crush" ; and here it has the sense of dashing in pieces, smiting, wounding, crushing. The "kings" referred to are the enemies of God and the Messiah, and the idea is that all would be subdued before him; that he would set up a universal dominion; that none would be able to stand before him; or, that he would reign over all the earth. The "language" is that which is derived from conquests in war; from the subjugation of enemies by force of arms. Compare the notes at Psalms 2:9-12; and the notes at Isaiah 11:4.

In the day of his wrath - Psalms 2:12.
