You are priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
Psalm 110:1-7
Describe the coming Messiah authority and victory over all kings.
Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty(神聖威嚴 in holy garments), from the womb of the dawn(as from the womb of the morning) you will receive the dew of your youth( thy youth (vigor) shall be as the dew.).
The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind:"You are priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
He will judge the nations , heaping up the dead and crushing the ruler of the whole earth.
He will drink from a brook beside the way; therefore he will lift up his head.
Why?
v7: He shall drink of the brook in the way - The design here seems to be to represent the Messiah as a victorious king and conqueror pursuing his enemies. In the previous verse the psalmist had represented him under the image of one engaged in battle, and slaying his enemies with a great slaughter. He here represents him as pursuing those who should escape from the battle, and as pursuing them without fainting or exhaustion. He is like one who finds abundant springs and streams of water in his journeyings; who refreshes himself at those fountains and streams; who, therefore, is not faint and weary. He pursues his foes vigorously and with success.
It is seen as pointing to God's coming King:the Christ.
How?
Jesus Christ is the victory King and priest forever, his people will array in holy majesty. Praise be to the Lord and Jesus Christ.

Let them know that it is your hand, the Lord have done it.
Psalm 109:21-31
David prayed to the Lord confessed he is poor and needy and his heart is wounded within him.
O sovereign Lord, deal well with me for your name's sake; out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
Help me, saved me in accordance with your love. Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O lord, have done it.
They may curse, but you will bless.
With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord; in the great throng I will praise him For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save his life from those who condemn him.
Why?
Acknowledge that we are poor and needy and we need the help from the Lord, if we don't feel we are poor and needy we won't pray to the Lord, searching for Him.
Pray to the Lord for his love, and His blessing is overcome the curse of enemy.
'He loved to curse may he be cursed! He hated to give blessing - may no one bless him'. It is tit-for-tit針鋒相對,' an eye for an eye', as the law allowed.
For those who follow the way of Jesus, the longing for revenge must give way to love, even for enemies.(Matthew 5:43-48)
How?

I am a man of prayer
Psalm 109:1-20
David's prayer to his enemy, the wicked and deceitful men.
There sins:
They attack me without cause
In return for my friendship they accuse me, but I am a man of prayer.
They repay me evil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
He never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needed and the brokenhearted.
Prayer:
May their sins always remain before the lord, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
May his descendants be cut off, his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
May his days be few and his prayers condemn him.
May the Lord's payment to y accusers to those who speak evil of me.
Why?
People the psalmist has loved and treated well have returned evil for good. They have no excuse for the attack which has reduced him to a shadow.
His bitterness finds expression in a terrible curse, excused in the psalmist's mind as fitting punishment:' he loved to curse - may he be cursed! He hated to give blessing - may no one bless him'
Psalmist prayed to the Lord to revenge for him. Call for help. He is a man of prayer.
The worst punishment is the sins are never be blotted out from the Lord.
How?
Am I a man of prayer? Yes, I am a man of prayer and a man of follower of Christ. I need more prayer to the Lord.
