6. A poor man with God at his right hand
Psalm 109
Let’s take a look

8. Psalm 109
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1
My God, whom I praise,
do not remain silent,
2
for people who are wicked and deceitful
have opened their mouths against me;
they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
3
With words of hatred they surround me;
they attack me without cause.
4
In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.
5
They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my friendship.

10. Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7
When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
and may his prayers condemn him.
8
May his days be few;
may another take his place of leadership.

11. 21
But you, Sovereign Lord,
help me for your name’s sake;
out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
God’s mercy depends on God

12. 22
For I am poor and needy,
and my heart is wounded within me.
23
I fade away like an evening shadow;
I am shaken off like a locust.
24
My knees give way from fasting;
my body is thin and gaunt.
Jesus was described here as
a poor man in his humanity and suffering

13. 25
I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
when they see me, they shake their heads.
Jesus was ridiculed at the cross

15. 26
Help me, Lord my God;
save me according to your unfailing love.
27
Let them know that it is your hand,
that you, Lord, have done it.
28
While they curse, may you bless;
may those who attack me be put to shame,
but may your servant rejoice.
God’s mercy depends on God

16. I confidently know that God stands at the right
hand of the needy

17. 30
With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord;
in the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.
31
For he stands at the right hand of the needy,
to save their lives from those who would condemn them.
I confidently know that God stands at the right
hand of the needy

19. Psalm 109 is the Judas epoch

20. A man described as poor and persecuted
in Psalm 109
next scene is…
A man not described as poor, but as Lord.
The ‘Lord is speaking to my Lord’.
Sit at my right hand!

21. A man seated at God’s right hand
like Melchizedek
Psalm 110

22. Psalm 110
Of David. A psalm.
1
The Lord says to my lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”
Leads off with
“the Lord said to my Lord”

23. Isaiah’s vision of God’s high and Holy throne
focused on man’s unworthiness
and even angels shielding themselves from looking on
God’s glory

24. 2
The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of your enemies!”
This sounds a bit like Psalm 2

25. 3 Your people will offer themselves freely
on the day of your power,
in holy garments;
This king will have servants who obey from the heart
and are dressed in holiness
Jesus ‘wrapped me in a robe of righteousness’
says Isaiah because of His work on the cross

26. 4
The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”
Melchizedek (a priest king) was from the life of Abraham
and unmentioned until now

27. Saul, the first King of Israel, offered sacrifice as
emergency priest and judgement fell on him
and yet… Melchizedek shows that it was possible to
have a priest king
Saul wasn’t it…. Jesus was
Melchizedek (a priest king) was from the life of Abraham
and unmentioned until now

28. 5
The Lord is at your right hand;
he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.
6
He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead
and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.
7
He will drink from a brook along the way,
and so he will lift his head high.
This also sounds a bit like Psalm 2
