‏ Psalms 110:2

2. the rod of thy strength--the rod of correction (Is 9:4; 10:15; Jr 48:12), by which Thy strength will be known. This is His Word of truth (Is 2:3; 11:4), converting some and confounding others (compare 2Th 2:8).

out of Zion--or, the Church, in which God dwells by His Spirit, as once by a visible symbol in the tabernacle on Zion (compare Psa 2:6).

rule thou, &c.--over enemies now conquered.

in the midst--once set upon, as by ferocious beasts (Psa 22:16), now humbly, though reluctantly, confessed as Lord (Php 2:10, 11).
