A Psalm is considered prophetic when it contains text that is found in the New or Old Testament books written long after the Psalm.
Prophecy, the for telling of the future is throughout the Old Testament. A quick scan of the book of Psalm is a prime example. The following is by no means complete, just a sampling:
Psalm 2 foretells of God’s dealing with sinful man during the Tribulation and the Kingdom He will set up on earth during the millieum. A key verse of when Christ became the BEGOTTEN SON is: Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Which was fulfilled when Christ was raised from the dead. The rest of the Psalm will be fulfilled after Christ returns for the Church in the Rapture.
Psalm 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
This was quoted by Christ in Matthew 21:16
Psalm 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
This verse speaks of Christ’s three days in the tomb, where he descended into hades and then rise gain three days later, and His body did not see corruption but was changed to a gloriest one. Ephesians 4:9
Psalm 22 A very graphic description of the Crucifixion (which did not come into being until the Romans ruled). (read about the crucifixion as recorded in the Gospels). Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Words spoken by Christ as He hung on the cross. Mark 15:34
Psalm 22:7-8 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. Actions and works spoken by those around the cross as Christ was being crucified. Matthew 27:43
Psalm 23 This passage has been a comfort to many believers over the years, but will be fulfilled for the Jew during the 7 years of tribulation (yet to come).
Psalm 24 Speaks of the King of Glory. Psalm 24:8 Who is this King of glory? Psalm 24:10 Who is this King of glory? Of course, this speaks of the Christ (Jesus) who will rule over Israel (and the world) for 1000 years. (Revelation 19,20)
Psalm 40 The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his earthly ministry. Psalm 40:7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, Who, but Christ (Jesus) could have said this?
Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his earthly ministry. And this verse was fulfilled through Judas (John 13:18,17:12).
Psalm 45 Speaks of the coming Kingdom when Christ (Jesus) will reign as king forever and ever. Psalm 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Hebrews 1:8
Psalm 46 The whole passage speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his coming earthly ministry during Jacob’s troubles (the Tribulation) and the 1000 years.
Psalm 47 Speaks of the coming Kingdom. Psalm 47:2 … he is a great King over all the earth. The 1000-year reign of Christ (Jesus) on earth. The Apostle Paul refers to this 1 Timothy 1:17.
Psalm 68 Speaks of Christ (Jesus) and his return. Psalm 68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. Acts 7:56 and the rest of passage speaks if His Kingly reign (during 1000 years).
Psalm 69 Speaks of Christ’s (Jesus) earthly ministry and his suffering and death. Psalm 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Matthew 27:34,43.
Psalm 72 Speaks of Christ’s (Jesus) earthly kingdom (during the 1000-year reign).
Psalm 110:1 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Hebrews 10:12
Psalm 149 Speaks of the Final Judgement (Great White Throne) Psalm 149:7-9 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord. Revelation 20:11
