{For David himself} (autos gar Daueid). This language of
Jesus clearly means that he treats David as the author of  Ps
110 . The inspiration of this Psalm is expressly stated in  Mr
12:36  Mt 22:43  (which see) and the Messianic character of the
Psalm in all three Synoptics who all quote the LXX practically
alike. Modern criticism that denies the Davidic authorship of
this Psalm has to say either that Jesus was ignorant of the fact
about it or that he declined to disturb the current acceptation
of the Davidic authorship. Certainly modern scholars are not
agreed on the authorship of  Ps 110 . Meanwhile one can certainly
be excused for accepting the natural implication of the words of
Jesus here, "David himself." {In the book of the Psalms} (en
bibl(9369) Psalm(936e)). Compare  3:4  "in the book of the words of
Isaiah the prophet."
