PSALM 110. Second Part. (L. M.) The Kingdom and Priesthood of Christ.

I

Thus the great Lord of earth and sea
Spake to his Son, and thus he swore;
‘Eternal shall thy priesthood be,
‘And change from hand to hand no more.

II

‘Aaron and all his sons must die;
‘But everlasting life is thine,
‘To save for ever those that fly
‘For refuge from the wrath divine.

III

‘By me Melchisedek was made
‘On earth a king and priest at once;
‘And thou, my heavenly priest shalt plead,
‘And thou, my King, shalt rule my sons.’

IV

Jesus the priest ascends his throne,
While counsels of eternal peace,
Between the Father and the Son,
Proceed with honour and success.

V

Thro' the whole earth his reign shall spread,
And crush the powers that dare rebel;
Then shall he judge the rising dead,
And send the guilty world to hell.

VI

Tho' while he treads his glorious way,
He drink the cup of tears and blood,
The sufferings of that dreadful day
Shall but advance him near to God.

The priesthood of Christ, after the order of Melchisedek, is particularly explained, Heb. vii. 1, 3, 23–25. and is inserted in the three first stanzas.

Zech. vi. 13.

He shall be a priest upon his throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

The last verse of this psalm is explained by interpreters in very contrary senses. Some make his drinking of the brook to signify mean refreshments in his way, and some expound it of his tasting sorrows and sufferings; the last is most evangelical and most beautiful, therefore I have chosen it.
