Psalms 110:4

2 The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength ^aout of Zion.
^bRule in the midst of Your enemies!

3 ^aYour people shall be volunteers
In the day of Your power;
^bIn the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning,
You have the dew of Your youth.

4 The Lord has sworn
And ^awill not relent,
“You are a ^bpriest forever
According to the order of ^cMelchizedek.”

5 The Lord is ^aat Your right hand;
He shall¹ execute kings ^bin the day of His wrath.

6 He shall¹ judge among the nations,
He shall fill the places with dead bodies,
^aHe shall execute the heads of many countries.

7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside;
^aTherefore He shall lift up the head.

The perpetuity of the priesthood, here asserted on God's oath, corresponds with that of the kingly office just explained.

after the order— (Hebrews 7:15) after the similitude of Melchisedek, is fully expounded by Paul, to denote not only perpetuity, appointment of God, and a royal priesthood, but also the absence of priestly descent and succession, and superiority to the Aaronic order.
