David himself said The Pharisees are referred to the cx th Psalm, which the Rabbis regarded as distinctly Messianic. "The Lord(Jehovah) said unto my Lord(Adonai), Sit thou on My right hand till I make thy foes a footstool for thy feet." In this lofty and mysterious Psalm, David, speaking by the Holy Ghost, was carried out of and beyond himself, and saw in prophetic vision that his Son would also be his Lord. The Psalm is more frequently cited by the New Testament writers than any other single portion of the ancient Scriptures (Acts 2:34-35; 1 Corinthians 15:25; Hebrews 1:13; Hebrews 5:6; Hebrews 7:17; Hebrews 7:21), "In later Jewish writings nearly every verse of it is quoted as referring to the Messiah." Perowne on the Psalms, ii. 291.
