The Lord
In Psalm 110:5, "The Lord" refers to the divine authority and sovereignty of God. The Hebrew word used here is "Adonai," which signifies a master or ruler. This term emphasizes God's supreme power and control over all creation. In the context of this psalm, it underscores the divine backing and authority given to the Messiah, who is seated at the right hand of God. Historically, this reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of kingship, where a king's power was seen as divinely ordained.

is at Your right hand
The phrase "is at Your right hand" signifies a position of honor and power. In ancient cultures, the right hand was considered a place of favor and strength. Biblically, being at the right hand of God indicates a special status and authority. This imagery is used to describe the Messiah's exalted position, sharing in God's rule and executing His will. Theologically, it points to the New Testament revelation of Jesus Christ, who is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for believers and reigning as King.

He will crush kings
"He will crush kings" speaks to the ultimate victory and judgment that the Messiah will execute over earthly rulers. The Hebrew word for "crush" is "machats," which conveys a sense of complete defeat and destruction. This phrase reflects the biblical theme of God's justice and the establishment of His kingdom over all human authority. Historically, it resonates with the prophetic tradition of God's anointed one triumphing over the enemies of Israel, symbolizing the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

on the day of His wrath
The "day of His wrath" refers to a time of divine judgment and retribution. In the Hebrew Bible, the "day of the Lord" is a recurring theme, representing a future time when God will decisively intervene in human history to judge the wicked and vindicate the righteous. This phrase underscores the seriousness and inevitability of God's judgment. From a conservative Christian perspective, it points to the eschatological hope of Christ's return, when He will establish His kingdom in fullness and bring justice to the earth.

(5) The Lord at thy right hand.--We are naturally tempted to understand this as still of the king whom the first verse placed at Jehovah's right hand. But the word for Lord here is Adonai, which is nowhere else used except of God. Moreover, God throughout has as yet appeared as the active agent. It is He who stretched out the sceptre and conferred the office of priest; and hitherto the king has been the person addressed. It is therefore necessary still to consider him as addressed, and suppose that the change of position of Jehovah from the king's right hand to his left is simply due to the usage of the language. To sit at the right hand was an emblem of honour, to stand at the right hand was a figure of protecting might (Psalm 16:8; Psalm 109:31); and the imagery of a battle into which the song now plunges caused the change of expression.

Verse 5. - The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. "Adonai" here is certainly Jehovah (Cheyne). He stands at Messiah's right hand (comp. Psalm 16:8; Psalm 121:5) to protect and defend him, and give him victory in the battle. Ver. 5 carries on the description of Messiah's triumph begun in ver. 3. The kings to be "struck through" are those that resist the progress of the gospel - Herod Agrippa, Galerius, Julian, and the like.
