Raw Blame History

David himself

This word "himself" refers to David and is used to place emphasis on him and what he said. AT: "It was David who" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rpronouns)

in the Holy Spirit

This means that he was inspired by the Holy Spirit. That is, the Holy Spirit directed David in what he said. AT: "inspired by the Holy Spirit" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)

said, 'The Lord said to my Lord

Here David calls God "The Lord" and calls the Christ "my Lord." This can be written more clearly. AT: "said about the Christ, 'The Lord God said to my Lord" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

Sit at my right hand

Jesus is quoting a psalm. Here God is speaking to the Christ. To sit at the "right hand of God" is a symbolic action of receiving great honor and authority from God. AT: "Sit in the place of honor beside me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction)

until I make your enemies your footstool

In this quote, God speaks of defeating enemies as making them into a footstool. AT: "until I completely defeat your enemies" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
