- Who is “my lord” and who are his enemies — an average individual or rather a royal personage?
- And, in Psalms 110:2 would the term “scepter” answer the inquiry?
- To whom might Psalms 110:4-5 be applied and do they both say the same thing — the one referring to Kohen and the other referring to royalty?
- Who is it that “works judgment” upon the nations — the one who “sits at the right hand” (i.e. the king or other ruler) or is this the Divine speaking?
- But, if so, how should we understand Psalms 110:7, “he drinks from the stream on his way” which would be an unacceptable anthropomorphism?
- And, to what stream is there reference?
- In sum, how should we understand this somewhat puzzling Psalm?

Our goal is to create content based on three core framing: Meaning-Making (Why?), Practical Living (How?), and Explainers (What?).
