Abstract

Scholars are studying the final form of the Psalter in its canonical context. In this article, Psalms 22, 23, and 24 are analyzed considering their canonical context and their final form. As a result of this research, the work/ministry of the Messiah is evident. Though these psalms are connected to the experience of David, hints pointing to the ministry of the Messiah are developed. It is concluded that Psalm 22 is the Psalm of the Cross, Psalm 24 is the Psalm of the Crown, and Psalm 23 is the Psalm of the Paschal Lamb.
