Best Answer

The Psalms were written before Jesus appeared as a man on earth.

Further info:

There are 150 Psalms (songs)which were written, primarily, by King David (who wrote atleast 73 of them), the 'Sons of Korah' wrote 11 of them, Asaph 12, Moses 1, Solomon 1, Ethan the Ezrahite 1, and around 40 more with no specific writer listed. Though the book of Psalms was completed nearly 500 years before Jesus was on earth, many of the Psalms were ABOUT him...prophetic words concerning the coming Messiah such as can be found at (Psalm 22/Mark 15:34) and (Psalm 16/Acts 2:31).

No, the Book of Psalms in The Bible was not mainly written by Jesus. It is a collection of songs and poems written by various authors, including King David and others. Jesus himself quoted from the Psalms but did not write them.

What did the soldiers use to give Jesus vinegar while he was on the cross?

Psalm 69:21 - They also gave me gall for my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.The Psalms aren't often thought of as "prophetic writings," but the New Testament reveals double meanings in many of them that refer to Jesus and the events surrounding His earthly manifestation. Jesus Himself alludes to this in Luke 24:44-Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophetsand the Psalms concerning Me."One example of this aspect of the Psalms that stands out is found in John 2, after Jesus drove the moneychangers out of the Temple:John 2:17 - Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up."Where was this written? Psalm 69:9 - Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.[Quotes from NKJV]

In which Psalm did David speak of Jesus' betrayal?

Psalm 41 is regarded as being the prophetic Psalm in which Jesus' betrayal is prophesied. The whole of the Psalm deals with this prophecy, but verse 9 is particularly relevant. 'Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me'. At the Last Supper, just prior to His betrayal, John 13:19 has Jesus quote the Psalm and mention it as being prophetic of the imminent betrayal: 'I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.'
