Psalms 71-105

Psalm 74: "We do not see our signs; there is no longer any prophet, and there is none among us who knows how long.  How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?"

78 references the concept of the parable, something Jesus frequently uses, although it's really just a reiteration of Exodus.  Although maybe there's a point to that for the Davidic era.  David is specifically referenced as part of God's revised plan.

The phrase "son of man," which Reza Aslan in Zealot interprets as something Jesus seems to have coined for himself, at least as a title, appears repeatedly, I should note, although not nearly as often as it will in the Book of Jeremiah a little later.  Is this taken by Christians to be another foreshadowing?

89: "Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord, a God feared in the council of the holy ones?"  Just like to regularly point out the constant acknowledgment of other divine beings in the Bible, which otherwise promotes God on the strength of his services to his chosen people.  Monotheism by choice rather than options, you might call Judeo-Christians (although by the time of Christians all the other ones, who are never really addressed directly in the Bible except the pagan gods whose representatives always look so pathetic, seem to have been completely forgotten).  This psalm also reiterates the permanent covenant with David, which Christians would interpret as finally fulfilled in Jesus.

A lot of the psalms from this part of the book have been adapted into modern hymns, possibly only among Christians.  I don't know about Jewish practices.  The psalms were originally conceived to be incorporated into services, and perhaps they remain so.

A key to unlocking authorship of these psalms might be found in 99, which is "of" Moses but still references him in the third person.  Other claims of apparent authorship include David, of course, as well as Asaph, the Sons of Korah, and Ethan.

105 is a summary of biblical history from Abraham to Moses.  It occurred to me while reading this time that perhaps the Bible from Genesis on might simply be a chronicle of orthodox Jewish genealogy, which was known to start with a man named Adam.  Since it wasn't until Abraham that the faith truly began, it would have been natural to assume that the first name didn't represent fidelity with God very well.  Anyway, a thought.  That might explain why Cain would be able to wander off and find other people, because even as biblical scholars will tell you the account of creation mustn't be taken literally.  Insofar as the part God played, sure, but as far as how man came into the world...Anyway, again, take this for what you will.
