Messianic Psalms


It is not academically fashionable these days to categorize some psalms as messianic. So I was pleasantly surprised to see Walter Kaiser identifying thirteen psalms as messianic (2; 16; 22; 40; 45; 68; 69; 72; 89; 109; 110; 118; 132). Of these psalms, Kaiser would place them in the following chronological order of fulfillment.

David’s Greater Son, Messiah—Psalms 89; 132
The rejection of Messiah—Psalm 118
The Betrayal of Messiah—Psalms 69; 109
The Death and Resurrection of Messiah—Psalms 16; 22
The Written Plan and Marriage of Messiah—Psalms 40; 45
The Triumph of Messiah—Psalms 2; 68; 72; 110
