2024.11.09 - Context - David is credited with penning this Psalm - Observations - Several Messianic passages in this Psalm - John referenced verse 9a in John 2.17 {9} - The Psalmist (David?) mentioned several things in verses 8-9 and "blamed" them on "[[zeal]]" {[[H7068]] } zeal for God's house. For example: - The Psalmist: - became a stranger to His brothers {8} - became a foreigner to his mother's sons {8} - said the insults aimed at God have fallen on him (the Psalmist) {9} - It is possible the psalmist was implying Jesus' zeal for His Father's house was instrumental in His death
