Psalm110-114

Psalm
110.1  quoted seven times in the NT.
112.5  lends...  A righteous man is a giver not a taker.
112.8  until he sees his desire upon his enemies...  I just find this a curious description or attribute of a man that fears God.  Understandable, but curious.
114.2  Israel...  This is one of the puzzling uses of "Israel".  One way to see it is as an expansion of Judah going from the part to the whole.  Another approach is to see Israel as the other half of Judah.  Since it refers to the exodus from Egypt, I would tend to assume Israel is the whole nation, but if this was written during the divided kingdom (somewhat unlikely) it could refer to the two kingdoms.  Hmmm...
