The Messiah in Psalm of Solomon 17
Psalms of Solomon 17:21–45
The Psalms of Solomon, an anonymous collection of Jewish psalms, probably date from the middle of the first century bce. The seventeenth psalm expresses a prayer for the coming of the royal Messiah of David's line.
21 Behold, Lord, and raise up for them their king, the son of David, in the time which you have chosen, to reign over Israel your servant. 22 And undergird him with strength to crush unjust rulers, to cleanse Jerusalem from Gentiles who trample it down with destruction, 23 and with the wisdom of righteousness to expel sinners from any inheritance, to smash the sinner's arrogance like clay pots…
26 He will gather a holy people, which he will lead with righteousness, and he will judge the tribes of a people sanctified by the Lord its God. 27 He will not allow injustice any longer to be lodged in their midst, and no person who knows evil will dwell with them. For he will know that all of them are sons of God, 28 and he will distribute them by their tribes upon the land…
30 He will have nations of peoples serve him under his yoke, and he will glorify the Lord with a banner over all the earth…
32 He himself will be king, righteous, taught by God, over them.
