Sorry if I'm too slow on the draw. I was trying to gather my thoughts for such this important discussion.

Regarding the Matt. 22 & Acts 2 quotes of Ps. 110. Do we not see in these verses "The Lord says to my Lord", The Father says to the Son. Also, later in the same psalm "The Lord has sworn...You are a priest forever", The Father declaring the eternal priesthood of the Son. These verses seem to reinforce my earlier suggestion that we see the Triune God throughout the Psalms (Contrasted with seeing Christ exclusively). In this case "Lord" is used to refer to Father & Son. cf. Ps. 2:2 "Against the Lord and His Anointed".

Also, the prevous quote above from Russel: "Our Lord certainly found the Psalms filled with references to Himself." True, but this is very different from saying, Our Lord certainly found the EVERY Psalm filled with references to Himself exclusively. This is my bone of contention.

Thanks for the sharpening.
