Psalms 3
Introduction
2 Samuel 15 covers David being betrayed by Absalom. He fled Jerusalem, and passed over the brook Kidron to take refuge in the wilderness. David’s actions parallel and foreshadow that of Jesus, as Jesus also had a great conspiracy rise against him. The only place the brook Kidron is mentioned in the NT is in John 18:1:
John 18:1 ¶ When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.

Psalm 9
Introduction
There are two major parts to this Psalm, verses 1-10, and 11-20. It is a Psalm of David. We don’t know when it was written, or for what circumstance. It could fit in many circumstances, some of the betters guesses, it was written several years after David had slain Goliath. We are not certain of this, but it is likely.
Psa. 40:3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Psalm 10
Introduction
This Psalm is clearly divided into two parts. Verses 1-11 all talk about the wicked works that are going on. You can feel the frustration that he is experiencing as he gives all his concerns. We have all been there at some point, completely frustrated, annoyed, with the wickedness that is going on around us. May the scrutiny of wickedness in our day, drive us to God in prayer. I feel we just live accepting wickedness, as a permanent fixture in our society. We really should be burdened by it, and about it. It is an absolute dredge on society.
