Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 110:3

Theological / Devotional

Thy people shall be willing. Literally, “thy people voluntary offerings.” When the king musters his army for the great day when the enemies of Zion will be overthrown, there will be a ready response. The people will yield willing allegiance to their leader.

Beauties of holiness. Many Hebrew manuscripts, and Symmachus and Jerome, read, “mountains of holiness.” If this reading is correct, it pictures the mountains of Zion as the rallying point of the armies of Israel.

The dew. Perhaps a figure of the vastness of the army (see 2 Sam. 17:11, 12), or of freshness and vigor (see Ps. 133:3; Hosea 14:5).
