It was impossible to explain satisfactorily how so mighty and glorious a king should acknowledge one of his descendants as Lord. The divine nature of Christ can alone account for it : which also shows why He was invited to share with the Father the honors of His throne. " Because He was soon to enter on His passion, He brings forward that prophecy, which openly proclaims Him Lord. Nor did He stop here ; but in order to fill them with terror, he added what follows in the psalm : until I make Thy enemies Thy footstool," St, Chrysostom.
