Does Psalm 110 Refer to Jesus as God?

According to most Christians it certainly does.

The following explains the Christian view regarding this passage according to Pastor Mike Winger, a pastor in California with a successful YouTube channel.


Response

Psalm 110:1 reads, "Of David a psalm. The word of the Lord to my lord; "Wait for My right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool at your feet." According to our interpretation, "my lord" is a reference to Abraham. We cross reference this from Genesis 23:6, which reads, "Listen to us, my lord; you are a prince of God in our midst; in the choicest of our graves bury your dead. None of us will withhold his grave from you to bury your dead." In this verse, "my lord" is Abraham.

"Until I make your enemies your footstool at your feet" refers to Amraphel (Genesis 14), who according to our tradition was the king that fought against God. "Amraphel" loosely means (in Hebrew) "He said, 'Fall,'" because he rebelled against God and wanted Him to "fall."
