Irish Psalm
Recently a construction worker in Ireland discovered a Medieval book of psalms while he was removing peat with a backhoe. The book is about 20 pages, in Latin script, and Bernard Meehan (Trinity College) dates the manuscript to 800-1000 CE. The book was found open to Psalm 83.

Have you read Psalm 83?
Awesome!!!
It talks about God defending Israel against all the enemies that surround her.
Coincidence? I think not!

Psalms Concerning Jesus Christ
Luke 24:44-45
He said to them,
“This is what I told you while I was still with you:
Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me
in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”
Matthew 10:42
(42) And whoever gives (one) of these little ones only
a cup of cold (water) in the name of a disciple, assuredly,
I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.
Psalm (42):(1)
1 As the deer pants for the (water) brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
Where is your God?
4 When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.
6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From the Hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me
A prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my Rock,
Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
10 As with a breaking of my bones,
My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long,
Where is your God?
11 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

Luke 20:9-13
9 Then He began to tell the people this parable:
A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers,
and went into a far country for a long time.
10 Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers,
that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard.
But the vinedressers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Again he sent another servant; and they beat him also,
treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
(12) And again he sent a (third;)
and they wounded him also and cast him out.
13 Then the owner of the vineyard said,
What shall I do? I will send my beloved son.
Probably they will respect him (when they see him.)
Psalm 123
1 Unto You I lift up my eyes,
O You who dwell in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He has mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us!
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud.

Matthew 11:1-10 NKJV
1 Now it came to pass,
when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples,
that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ,
he sent two of his disciples
(3) and said to Him, Are You the Coming (One,) Psalm 13
or do we (look for another?) Psalm 14
Psalm 14
1 The fool has said in his heart,
There is no God.
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
2 (The LORD looks down from heaven) upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
Who eat up my people as they eat bread,
And do not call on the LORD?
5 There they are in great fear,
For God is with the generation of the righteous.
6 You shame the counsel of the poor,
But the LORD is his refuge.
7 Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When the LORD brings back the captivity of His people,
Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.

Apparently, this is Psalm 83 in a Latin psalter, which means it’s actually Psalm 84 in the modern translations. And Psalm 84 is quite different from 83. Here’s the first 4 verses:
===
How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise.
