Genesis 14
17After Abram returned from defeating Kay-dor-lay-omer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).

18Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,
19and he blessed Abram, saying,

“Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

20And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand. ”Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

21The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.”

Psalm 110 Of David. A psalm.

1The Lord says to my lord: a
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.”

2The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of your enemies!”

3Your troops will be willing
on your day of battle.
Arrayed in holy splendor,
your young men will come to you
like dew from the morning’s womb. b

4The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek.”

5,6,7 - Judgment

Yes, Psalm 110 is in the New Testament and is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament:
How often it's quoted
Psalm 110 is referenced at least 14 times in the New Testament.

This is a passage Jesus used to stump the scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 22:41–46). They knew the Messiah would be David’s son. But then Jesus hit them with Psalm 110:1, asking, “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” (Matt. 22:45).

Hebrews 7 NIV
Melchizedek the Priest

1This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
2and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
3Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.

It is good to understand Melchizedek Gen 14 and Psalms 110 because it is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament
Connected to Jesus through Scripture. A King of peace. A King of righteousness Right in the middle of Abraham's very busy day,
He wants to share a meal with Abraham! Of bread and Wine!
