Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion. "The rod of thy strength," or "thy strong scepter," is the same thing as "thy ruling power" (see Jeremiah 48:17; Ezekiel 19:11). The ruling power of Messiah was to go forth from Jerusalem (Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:1-4). Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Ac cording to Professor Cheyne, these are the words of Jehovah - a continuation of the address in ver. 1; but they are more gene rally regarded as the words of the writer of the psalm, i.e., according to our exegesis, of David. He calls on the Messiah to take his power and reign.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Send.--The verb should be here rendered stretch, as in Genesis 22:10; Genesis 48:14, and frequently of stretching out the hand, often with hostile intent. The poet here speaks in his own person, addressing the King, to whom the oracle has just been announced.Rod of thy strength--i.e., the sceptre, which is the emblem of royal power and sway. (See Jeremiah 48:17.) The word "staff" is different from that rendered "rod," in Psalm 2:9; and the image is not, as there, necessarily of a weapon of destruction, but only of kingly rule, as in Psalm 45:6. . . .
