In Psalm 110:1 God makes the messianic King triumph over His enemies, who are then made his footstool. This text is quoted six times in the New Testament. It served as the basis for Jesus' riddle about David's son who is also his lord ( Matthew 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:43 ). Elsewhere, the Scripture was applied to the ascension of Christ (Acts 2:34-35 ), the exaltation of Christ (Hebrews 1:13 ), and the future victory of Christ (Hebrews 10:13 ).
