< Psalms >

Many Psalms foretell the thoughts of Jesus. It may be that every Psalm does.

The book of Psalms consists of a hundred and fifty songs written by a few men under the inspiration of God. The first seventy-two were written by David and many of these, remarkably, express beforehand the suffering and the glory of Christ. Jesus himself said the Psalms spoke of him Luke 24:44Waiting for response for Luke 24:44 and many of those written by David express the very thoughts of Jesus a thousand years before he thought them! David himself suffered greatly at the hands of false accusers and others who sought to slay him, even though he was righteous and did them only good, but afterwards his enemies were destroyed and he was exalted to the throne of the LORD over Israel. Jesus likewise suffered at the hands of men, but was afterwards exalted by God to great glory, and at the set time he will sit on the same throne of the LORD for ever. Thus the Spirit used the experiences of David and moved him to express thoughts which later would actually be in the mind of Jesus, his promised seed.
