7 Bible Verses about Messianic Psalms

Why are the nations in an uproar, and their people involved in a vain plot? As the kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and his anointed one, they say, "Let us tear off their shackles from us, and cast off their chains."read more.
He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. In his anger he rebukes them, and in his wrath he terrifies them: "I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain." Let me announce the decree of the LORD that he told me: "You are my son, today I have become your father. Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the ends of the earth as your possession. You will break them with an iron rod, you will shatter them like pottery." Therefore, kings, act wisely! Earthly rulers, be warned! Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son before he becomes angry, and you die where you stand. Indeed, his wrath can flare up quickly. How blessed are those who take refuge in him. A Davidic Psalm, when he fled from his son Absalom.

My heart is overflowing with good news; I speak what I have composed to the king; my tongue is like the pen of an articulate scribe.

In your majesty ride forth for the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness; and your strong right hand will teach you awesome things. Your arrows are sharpened to penetrate the hearts of the king's enemies. People will fall under you. Your throne, God, exists forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter. You love justice and hate wickedness. That is why God, even your God, has anointed you rather than your companions with the oil of gladness. All your clothes are scented with myrrh, aloes, and cassia. From ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad. The king's daughters are among your honorable women; the queen, dressed in gold from Ophir, has taken her place at your right hand." Listen, daughter! Consider and pay attention. Forget your people and your father's house, and the king will greatly desire your beauty. Because he is your lord, you should bow in respect before him. The daughter of Tyre will come with a wedding gift; wealthy people will entreat your favor. In her chamber, the king's daughter is glorious; her clothing is embroidered with gold thread. In embroidered garments she is presented to the king. Her virgin companions who follow her train will be presented to you. Filled with joy and gladness, they are presented when they enter the king's palace. Your sons will take the place of your ancestors, and you will set them up as princes in all the earth. From generation to generation, I will cause your name to be remembered. Therefore people will thank you forever and ever. To the Director: A song by the Sons of Korah, to the tune of "The Maidens".

God, endow the king with ability to render your justice, and the king's son to render your right decisions. May he rule your people with right decisions and your oppressed ones with justice. May the mountains bring prosperity to the people and the hills bring righteousness.read more.
May he defend the afflicted of the people and deliver the children of the poor, but crush the oppressor. May they fear you as long as the sun and moon shine from generation to generation. May he be like the rain that descends on mown grass, like showers sprinkling on the ground. The righteous will flourish at the proper time and peace will prevail until the moon is no more. May he rule from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. May the nomads bow down before him, and his enemies lick the dust. May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shores bring gifts, and may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer tribute. May all kings bow down to him, and all nations serve him. For he will deliver the needy when they cry out for help, and the poor when there is no deliverer. He will have compassion on the poor and the needy, and he will save the lives of the needy. He will redeem them from oppression and violence, since their lives are precious in his sight. May he live long and be given gold from Sheba, and may prayer be offered for him continuously, and may he be blessed every day. May grain be abundant in the land all the way to the mountain tops; may its fruits flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and may the cities sprout like the grass of the earth. May his fame be eternal as long as the sun may his name endure, and may they be blessed through him, and may all nations call him blessed. Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does awesome deeds. And blessed be his glorious name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and amen! This ends the prayers of Jesse's son David. A song of Asaph.

A declaration from the LORD to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool." When the LORD extends your mighty scepter from Zion, rule in the midst of your enemies.

Those who hurry after another god will have many sorrows; I will not present their drink offerings of blood, nor will my lips speak their names. The LORD is my inheritance and my cup; you support my lot. The boundary lines have fallen in pleasant places for me; truly, I have a beautiful heritage. I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; indeed, my conscience instructs me during the night. I have set the LORD before me continuously; because he stands at my right hand, I will stand firm. Therefore, my heart is glad, my whole being rejoices, and my body will dwell securely. For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, you will not allow your holy one to experience corruption. You cause me to know the path of life; in your presence is joyful abundance, at your right hand there are pleasures forever. A Davidic Prayer.

My God! My God! Why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from delivering me from my groaning words? My God, I cry out to you throughout the day, but you do not answer; and throughout the night, but I have no rest. You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.read more.
Our ancestors trusted in you; they trusted and you delivered them. They cried out to you and escaped; they trusted in you and were not put to shame. But as for me, I am only a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by people. Everyone who sees me mocks me; they gape at me with open mouths and shake their heads at me. They say, "Commit yourself to the LORD; perhaps the LORD will deliver him, perhaps he will cause him to escape, since he delights in him." Yet, you are the one who took me from the womb, and kept me safe on my mother's breasts. I was dependent on you from birth; from my mother's womb you have been my God. Do not be so distant from me, for trouble is at hand; indeed, there is no deliverer. Many bulls have surrounded me; the vicious bulls of Bashan have encircled me. Their mouths are opened wide toward me, like roaring and attacking lions. I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me. My strength is dried up like broken pottery; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth, and you have brought me down to the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of those who practice of evil has encircled me. They gouged my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones. They look at me; they stare at me. They divide my clothing among themselves; they cast lots for my clothing! But as for you, LORD, do not be far away from me; My Strength, come quickly to help me. Deliver me from the sword; my precious life from the power of the dog. Deliver me from the mouth of the lion, from the horns of the wild oxen. You have answered me. I will declare your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation, I will praise you, saying, "All who fear the LORD, praise him! All the seed of Jacob, glorify him! All the seed of Israel, fear him! For he does not despise nor detest the afflicted person; he does not hide his face from him, but he hears him when he cries out to him." My praise in the great congregation is because of you; I will pay my vows before those who fear you. The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him, "May you live forever!" All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD; all the families of the nations will bow in submission to the LORD. Indeed, the kingdom belongs to the LORD; he rules over the nations. All the prosperous people will eat and bow down in submission. All those who are about to go down to the grave will bow down in submission, along with the one who can no longer keep himself alive. Our descendants will serve him, and that generation will be told about the Lord. They will come and declare his righteousness to a people yet to be born; indeed, he has accomplished it! A Davidic Psalm.

I waited expectantly for the LORD, and he took notice of me and heard my cry. He plucked me out of a pit of confusion, even out of the quicksand; he placed my feet on a rock and established my steps. He put a new song in my mouth, praise to our God! Many will watch and be in awe, and they will place their trust in the LORD.read more.
How blessed is that strong person who places his trust in the LORD, and who has not acknowledged the proud nor resorted to lies. LORD, my God, You have done great things: marvelous works and your thoughts toward us. There is no one who compares to you! I will try to recite your actions, even though there are too many to number. You take no delight in sacrifices and offerings you have prepared my ears to listen you require no burnt offerings or sacrifices for sin. Then I said, "Here I am! I have come! In the scroll of the book it is written about me. I delight to do your will, my God. Your Law is part of my inner being." In the great congregation I have proclaimed the righteous good news. Behold, I did not seal my lips, LORD, as you know. I have not ignored your righteousness in my heart; instead, I have proclaimed your faithfulness and deliverance. I have not concealed your gracious love and truthfulness from the great congregation. LORD, do not withhold your mercy from me, for your gracious love and truthfulness will keep me safe continuously. Innumerable evils have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me so that I cannot see. They are more in number than the hair on my head, and my courage has forsaken me. Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me; LORD, hurry up and help me! May those who seek to destroy my life be ashamed and confounded; let them be driven backwards and humiliated, particularly those who wish me evil. Let shame be the reward for those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" Let all who seek you shout for joy and be glad in you. May those who love your deliverance say, "The LORD be magnified!" continuously. But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think about me. You are my help and deliverer. My God, do not tarry too long! To the Director: A Davidic Psalm.
