LFJ Psalms Page 1 of 3 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (118:22-24) Looking for Jesus in Psalms Hebrew poetry-- (poetry/music is pattern.) The poetic effect in Hebrew poetry is achieved through parallelism, which can be defined as echoing ideas or “rhymed thought.” In Hebrew poetry, the ideas "rhyme." {What rhymes in English poetry? What other patterns are used in English poetry?} Biblical cadence in modern culture: Blues songs repeat entire lines as in Psalm 103: 1-2, 20-22. Examples: "Crossroads"/ ”Before you 'cuse Me” Reggae-- (I Shot the Sheriff) Gospel-- Were You There When They Crucified my Lord? / Swing Low, Sweet Chariot / Jacob's Ladder. Cf. Psalm 103:20-22; Psalm 124. Black rhetoric repeats phrases: "I have a dream." Cf. Sermon on the Mount/ “Beatitudes”—Matt. 5. Parallelism-- 1. Synonymous parallelism--"types" (things which resemble or sketch out Christ. Examples: 1. “Good out of bad”--the death of Christ saved many alive. 2. The dead womb of Sarah is a tomb—out of which comes Isaac, the son of Promise—typical of resurrection.) 2. Antithetic parallelism--"antitypes"--types in reverse; for example, the antichrist. 3. Synthetic parallelism--adding elements (parts) to make the whole. Elijah and Elisha and grace and truth and king and priest and poet and prophet and shepherd and judge and anointed combine to give us a picture of Christ. How the Bible as a whole reflects parallelism: Types are those things which “rhyme”—they echo, reverberate, and reflect repetitively throughout Scripture. The Bible can be seen as one big Psalm whose organizing pattern consists of the echoing parallels (“deep calls to deep”—Ps. 42:7) which are typical of Jesus Christ. ****************************************************************************** At the Last Supper, the last song He sang: The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (118:22-24) There is a more complete picture of Christ in the Psalms than in the gospels. The gospels say he prayed; Psalms tell us what he said (16, 102). The Gospels say he was crucified; the Psalms tell us what went on in His own heart (22). Messianic Psalms: 2, 8, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 31, 35, 40, 41, 45, 50, 55, 61, 68, 69, 72, 89, 91, 96, 97, 98, 102, 109, 110, 118, 132. These psalms speak of the birth, death, resurrection, glory, priesthood, kingship, and return of Christ. Technical note--and I mean "technical": Some include amongst the messianic psalms only those quoted in New Testament. Here in the Lifted Up class, we call 'em messianic if they refer to the Messiah. (What a concept...) P.S. Here’s an easier list to memorize: all Psalms (1-150) are messianic in some essential regard. The list above includes Psalms with specifically messianic passages.
LFJ Psalms Page 2 of 3 The Personal nature of the Psalms. (2 Tim. 1:12— “I know whom I have believed.”) I used to believe in the LORD. Now I believe the LORD. Comment. (Cf. Gen. 15:6 in the KJV/NASB: and the same verse in NIV/ESV.) (Note that the Word of the LORD came to Abraham (15:1) before faith; then he believed in the Lord (cf. Rom. 10:17). Saved but far away: the prodigal son in the far country (see Luke 15:13). Esther and Mordecai—saved but out of His will (the Promised Land.) The typical Christian today—saved but out of His will (the Promises in His Word.) You will have to do with Jesus Christ—either as your Savior or as your Judge. (2:12) Of 218 times the Old Testament is quoted in New Testament, 116 are from Psalms. The stars are where they are because that’s where Jesus put them. (Psalm 8:3) Psalm 10: 4,13—a picture of the anti-Christ, who will be an atheist/ Ps. 52-55 also typical of antichrist Psalm 10:18—“the man of the earth"/anti-Christ; “the time is coming when the sin of man will lead to the man of sin” 14:1—the climax of imbecility is the person who says there is no God. 16:9--Jesus knew that God would raise him from the dead. We should also know that God will raise us from the dead. 17:4--We are in enemy territory. Satan the enemy as Saul was to David. 16:8--life of Christ 16:9--death of Christ 16:10--resurrection of Christ 16:11--ascension of Christ 19:13--The great transgression is to reject Christ Psalm 21--the Messiah in his ascension (see Heb. 12:2) 21:9--a picture of hell; the Old Testament does teach hell. (see 2 Thes. 1:7-10) 22:1--The view of the crucifixion from the cross. "Why hast thou forsaken me?" The answer is in verse 3: "Thou art holy"; God was turning His back on sin. Thoughts that do lie too deep for tears: amongst the saddest words in the Bible-- 22:31--"It is finished." (Consistent with the miracle that is Christ, also amongst the happiest words in Scripture!) --"Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?" (Lamentations 1:12) --"Absalom, Absalom" (2 Sam. 18:33) -- Psalm 88 --Others? Psalm 22: past: The Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep. Psalm 23: present: The Great Shepherd watches over the sheep.
LFJ Psalms Page 3 of 3 Psalm 24: future: The Chief Shepherd appears in the future. 24:4 This isn't me, but it is me in Christ. 25:11--God forgives us for Christ's sake, not for our own sake. 25:7-- See Jer. 31:34 Psalm 32: instructs us on what forgiveness consists of; David's penitential psalm is 51. 34:7--The angel of the Lord is the preincarnate Christ Psalm 40--Messianic psalm; crucifixion and resurrection Psalm 45--The second coming of Christ (this time in glory.) Psalm 51:7--Hyssop used to apply the blood to the doors in the Passover. Hyssop is a picture of faith; we apply the blood of Christ by faith (see Exodus 12:22). Faith is a dead branch; the life is in the blood. 69--tells of "silent years" in the life of Christ. 69:5--these refer to our sins he took upon Himself 69:8-12--Jesus' life in Nazareth and his family life were not rosy and happy like depicted. 69:12--townspeople said he was illegitimate 89--Song of the Davidic covenant 102--Jesus in Gethsemane 106:15--see Numbers 11:20 Psalm 110--most quoted Psalm in New Testament; see Matt. 22:41 Psalm 115, 116, 118--these psalms sung at Passover supper; they were the last psalms Christ sang on the night of his last supper and his arrest. Psalm 32, 51, 130, 143--Martin Luther called these the "Pauline Psalms", wherein the forgiveness of sin granted to those who believe, without having any works to offer. Salvation by faith, not works, is an Old Testament principle, as well. Psalm 136--the mercy of God in every verse Psalm 138:6--God regards the humble--see also James 4:6/Psalm 131:1/Isaiah 57:15/Isaiah 66:2/1 Peter 5:5/ 1 Peter 3:4 139:1-5 The amazing thing is that even though God knows me, he saved me. God's omniscience is not something to terrify, but to comfort. 139:15-16--the Bible on abortion; God is flat-out against it. To say that you can take a baby's life is taking the place of God. God doesn't like to share his place with anyone. Psalm 110--most quoted Psalm in New Testament; see Matt. 22:41
