By David
King & Priest
This is both a royal & Messianic psalm making total reference to the rule & conquest of the Messiah. David certainly was not pointing to any human or earthly king since there was never a Jewish king who was a priest, not to mention a ‘priest forever’ v4. There were also no known earthly kings who have conquered the world as mentioned in v 6.
In this psalm, we see Jesus exalted by the Father as King v1-3 & victorious in His conquest of all other kings v5-7. This King is special, He is Priest forever, making His throne truly a throne of grace for the people & the nations.
Application:
Often, we identify with God more like He is our Priest, interceding & mediating for us. As the King of kings, we need to see ourselves subject to His rule & obey Him in His commands. Failing to obey makes us disloyal & the enemies of the King. Are there any areas in your life that remains un-submitted to God? Submit to Him & find His grace for that situation.
