The images are only intended to provide resonances with some aspects of the psalm; they are not intended as a one-to-one correspondence.
images:
Joshua and the five kings from the cave at Makkedah (Joshua 10)
The Conquest of the Amorites - James Tissot (Joshua)
Peter standing up with the Eleven on the Day of Pentecost - Arthur Twidle (Acts 2)

This is the most frequently quoted psalm in the New Testament particularly to do with the trinity.

Matthew 26:64, Mark 12:36, 14:62, Luke 20: 41–44, Acts 2: 34–36, 1 Corinthians 15: 25, Hebrews 5:1–6, 6:20, 7:4–7, 7:17–24

Some argue that v7 picks up from Samson's spring of the crier; others mention the river in the heavenly Zion.

PSALM 110 S.M.

1 The LORD said to my Lord:
“Sit here at my right hand,
Until I make your foes a stool
on which your feet may stand.”

2 The LORD will make your reign
extend from Zion’s hill;
With royal power you’ll rule among
those who oppose your will.

3 When you display your power,
your people flock to you;
At dawn, arrayed in holiness,
your youth will come like dew.

4 Unchangeably the LORD
with solemn purpose swore:
“Just like Melchizedek you are
a priest for evermore.”

5 The Lord’s at your right hand;
there he will ever stay.
He on his day of wrath will crush
the kings who bar his way.

6 The nations he will judge;
the dead in heaps will lie.
The mighty of the earth he’ll crush—
all who his rule defy.

7 A brook beside the way
his thirst will satisfy;
And, thus refreshed, he will with joy
lift up his head on high.
