The repeating refrain of Psalm 21, Psalm 71, and Psalm 121 is in times of discouragement, follow David's advice and look up. Stand on God's faithfulness and goodness.

Passages from the World Messianic Bible

Psalm 22 is one of the Messianic psalms. David is inspired to pen words foreseeing Jesus's suffering and those Jesus spoke while dying on the cross. It paints a picture of the desolate Jesus felt at the one point in time he was separated from the Father and literally had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Even then, he knew the Father would deliver him. Psalm 72 speaks of the justice and righteousness of the victorious Christ and Psalm 122 looks forward to the Messianic kingdom.

Passages from the World Messianic Bible

The movie Jerry Maguire made the phrase, "you complete me" famous, but David said it over 3,000 years before in Psalm 27. However, he wasn't saying it to another human being who could fail and disappoint but to the ever faithful God, the only one who can truly "complete" us.

Life is full of choices. Every day, every moment, we choose which path we will be on. Moses told the Israelites that life and death was before them. In Psalm 28, David reflects on the consequences of those choices as does Asaph in Psalm 78.

Passages from the World Messianic Bible

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!
