Reading Through the Psalm Day 31: Psalm 31, 81, & 131

Every account in the Old Testament is either a prophetic foreshadowing of what

was to come or an illustrative lesson applicable throughout time for those who

seek after God. This is seen frequently throughout the Psalms of David. His

cry to God begins with his current situation, but then will transition into the

prophetic.

A clear illustration of this is Psalms 31. It begins with a cry to God for help

during one of the many times David was fleeing from his enemies and

transitions to a portrayal of the suffering Messiah who stood in the middle of

those who were conspiring to kill him.

Verse 22 is a prophetic utterance that is repeated by Daniel in Dan 9:24-27 that

the Messiah would be cut off in midlife, and seemingly have accomplished

nothing. But the chapter ends with a confident assurance that God will hear him

and vindicate him as does Isaiah in Isaiah 53:10-12 NLT. The Savior is

victorious!
