Exegesis
The object τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου {τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου | toùs ekh-throús sou} ‘your enemies’ is in the accusative, and the idiom ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου {ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν σου | hu-po-ká-tō tṓn po-dṓn sou} ‘under your feet’ uses ὑποκάτω with genitive to express complete subjugation. This citation of Psalm 110:1 underscores the Messiah’s exaltation and the definitive judgment on hostile powers.
