Summary

The psalms are everywhere in Matthew’s crucifixion narrative, but are rarely read Davidically– the first task of this chapter. Building off the results of Chapters 4 and 5, I then synthesize Matthew’s deployment of the psalms and situate them into Jesus’s biography. Such a reading strategy fits comfortably within the framework established in Chapter 3; that is, Matthew also sets the psalms within David’s life, and goes a step further by having the son of David reenact his sufferings.
