Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 110:4

_ _ The perpetuity of the priesthood, here asserted on God’s oath, corresponds with that of the kingly office just explained.

_ _ after the order — (Hebrews 7:15) after the similitude of Melchisedek, is fully expounded by Paul, to denote not only perpetuity, appointment of God, and a royal priesthood, but also the absence of priestly descent and succession, and superiority to the Aaronic order.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 110:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 110:4

Sworn — That this priesthood might be made sure and irrevocable.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 110:4

The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of (d) Melchizedek.

(d) As Melchizedek the figure of Christ was both a King and Priest, so this effect cannot be accomplished on any king save only Christ.
