¹ PSA 110:4 Most English versions have "the order of", implying some (priestly) class or rank. But the word is probably to be understood here in a modal sense (cf. Allen, Psalms 100–150, p.79–82) | NJPS has a different understanding: "a rightful king by My decree", understanding the word as meaning an official communication.
