Rule in the midst of your enemies

Yesterday I was reading in Psalm 110, and this petition in verse 2 jumped out at me:

Rule in the midst of your enemies!

This is the cry of the submissive subjects of the King. We do not want Him merely to reign over us, as a tiny little province of justice and righteousness. We want Him to reign in the midst of His enemies - that they would see, fear, tremble, and repent.
