Verse Takeaways

David's Lord is Jesus
Commentators emphasize that this verse features God the Father ("Jehovah") speaking to a second figure David calls "my Lord" ("Adonai"). They argue this figure must be the Messiah, Jesus Christ, because King David would not call any mere human descendant his superior. This points to Christ's divine nature and supreme authority, a truth Jesus himself highlighted in the New Testament.
