Psalm 20 expressed the people’s cry for a godly leader as the nation of Israel prepared for war. After God provided a great victory we now find the people in Psalm 21 expressing their thanksgiving to God for his great deliverance and answer to prayer. Psalm 22 is a messianic psalm that graphically and prophetically describes Jesus upon the cross and the work of redemption that He accomplished for us. Psalm 23, is no doubt an all time favorite describing how David learned about the shepherding nature of God through his own work of being a shepherd. Psalm 24 is another messianic psalm that speaks of a future time when Jesus will come to earth and set up His promised kingdom and be recognized as the King of Kings. Psalm 25 is David’s cry to the Lord as he asks for God’s guidance, protection, and pardon.
