דניאל יוסף בן מאיר הירש
Can't be Christ. The verse says: "to his anointed, to David". Christ was never anointed. This has been shown repeatedly. Also, you're ignoring the verses 38-43 which do not describe Jesus. Please provide scripture if you disagree. So, no, Psalm 18 is not about Christ. This is a fail.18:50. 'Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore'.
Now, God is majestic, for this passage could be read in two ways. You could read it to be talking about David, or you could read it to be talking about king Messiah. Or, it could be BOTH. And, it's the latter view l take.
The first interpretation makes David the subject, and his seed the Messiah.
The second interpretation makes the king Messiah the subject, and his seed the believers in Christ.
Neither of course. You're ignoring the previous verses... again. Here it is in context. I'll even use the KJV in spite of the choices it makes of translation.Now, let me refer you to Psalm 22, once again. In verse 30 it says, 'A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation'.
Who is the seed serving? Is it David, or king Messiah?
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
There you go. Per the KJV, if one reads verses 27,28,29, and 30 in order. The seed serves the LORD.28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
However, if one ignores those verses... they might wonder if its talking about something else. It's pure folly. ( Proverbs 15:2 )
