What does Psalm 110:3 mean?

This psalm records David's vision of the Messiah and His incredible victories. Earlier verses (Psalm 110:1) implied that this Messiah is divine, and superior to King David. Later comments will establish that this figure is not only a king (Psalm 110:2), but also a priest (Psalm 110:4). The army depicted here may be a reference to the thousand-year reign of peace and prosperity under Jesus Christ during the end times (Revelation 20:4). It may mean the heavenly armies who will stand behind Christ when He comes in power (Revelation 19:14). Holy garments mentioned in Scripture include those of priests (Exodus 28:40–43).

Describing the army as "dew" may refer to youthfulness and brilliance (Micah 5:7). It could also imply massive numbers (2 Samuel 17:11–12). However, the original language of this verse is obscure. Various translations have been suggested. While this phrase is unclear, the statement made in the following verse is much easier to understand, and far more important.
