Watchman Press Review
The following classifications and notes are reviewed Watchman Press editorial analysis. They are separate from the biblical text and from the raw cross-reference dataset.
David's Lord Exalted at God's Right Hand
Peter quotes David's words about the Lord seated at God's right hand and uses them in the climactic argument that God has made the crucified Jesus both Lord and Christ.
The Psalm provides apostolic language for the exaltation of Jesus. The one rejected and crucified has been enthroned at God's right hand.

David's Lord Exalted at God's Right Hand
