The spirit of the LORD speaks through me; his message is on my lips.

Year after year you patiently warned them. You inspired your prophets to speak, but your people were deaf, so you let them be conquered by other nations.

"Why, then," Jesus asked, "did the Spirit inspire David to call him 'Lord'? David said,

If, then, David called him 'Lord,' how can the Messiah be David's descendant?"

"My friends," he said, "the scripture had to come true in which the Holy Spirit, speaking through David, made a prediction about Judas, who was the guide for those who arrested Jesus.

So they left, disagreeing among themselves, after Paul had said this one thing: "How well the Holy Spirit spoke through the prophet Isaiah to your ancestors!

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living,

So then, as the Holy Spirit says, "If you hear God's voice today,

do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were when they rebelled against God, as they were that day in the desert when they put him to the test.

This is shown by the fact that God sets another day, which is called "Today." Many years later he spoke of it through David in the scripture already quoted: "If you hear God's voice today, do not be stubborn."

They tried to find out when the time would be and how it would come. This was the time to which Christ's Spirit in them was pointing, in predicting the sufferings that Christ would have to endure and the glory that would follow.

For no prophetic message ever came just from the human will, but people were under the control of the Holy Spirit as they spoke the message that came from God.

The LORD said to my lord, "Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies under your feet."

For it was not David who went up into heaven; rather he said, 'The Lord said to my Lord: Sit here at my right side

"All the people of Israel, then, are to know for sure that this Jesus, whom you crucified, is the one that God has made Lord and Messiah!"

For Christ must rule until God defeats all enemies and puts them under his feet.

God never said to any of his angels: "Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet."

Christ, however, offered one sacrifice for sins, an offering that is effective forever, and then he sat down at the right side of God.

There he now waits until God puts his enemies as a footstool under his feet.
