MESSIAH IN PSALM 22 Many psalms contain references that are considered to be messianic‚ but none more than Psalm 22. Modern readers may read this passage and consider it as prophecy pertaining to Jesus. This is a logical conclusion considering that it is referenced in the New Testament more than any other Old Testament passage and contains imagery incredibly similar to what is found at Jesus’ crucifixion. The purpose of this paper is not to prove that Psalm 22 is prophetic and thus‚ predictive

Psalm 91 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 121‚ usually recited in any time of danger or potentially dangerous situations‚ describes the importance of attaining G-d even at the greatest of heights and to ascend to His “glorious Presence.” This can only be achieved when man forsakes his faith in earthly powers and lifts his “eyes up to the hills‚” toward G-d. We should all have the strength and confidence to ascend to G-d‚ even at the most troubling of times. In return‚ G-d will “not let our foot slip” and will guard us for all eternity

Psalms 139: 1-24 – God’s Complete Knowledge and Care For me‚ Psalm 139 is the most beautiful Psalm meditating on the omnipresence of God that’s why I chose this.

God knows the whole thing about me inside and out‚ through and through. Everything I do‚ every thought that goes through my mind‚ every step I take‚ every plan I make‚

Essentially‚ the question posed is asking what our personal Christian counseling view is using Psalm 8 and 139. First‚ the Psalms tell me that God knows me in every way. He knows my every thought‚ action‚ and emotion even before I do. In fact‚ He knew these before He created me (Psalm 139‚ ESV). This is more than the human mind can truly understand. With that in mind‚ those that He places before me to counsel are also known by God in every way. When they struggle to come to terms with an innermost
