Psalms 110

REFLECTIONS UPON PSALM CX.—How high is the dignity of our Redeemer! Glorious is his reward for his work of obedience and suffering. And all his enemies—sin, Satan, the world, and death—are made to bow under his feet. The everlasting gospel, sent forth into all the world, becomes effectual to men’s salvation, and his kingdom is established in despite of all opposition. Multitudes of his enemies, made willing in the day of his power, cheerfully enlist themselves in his service, and worship him in the beauties of holiness. In the morning of the gospel period, through the heavenly influence of the blessed Spirit, multitudes, fresh and flourishing in heart, surrendered themselves to the Lord.
