Psalm 2 David by NT attribution - 12 vs. - 2.1-2--Acts 4.25-27, Acts 13.33, & Hebrews 1.5; 5.5
A warning to the nations that the Son will rule with an iron rod, so it is pointless to oppose Him.

2.4 God laughs at the nations
2.11 Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling... Still waiting to see much of that in a worship service anywhere.

Psalm 3 David - 8 vs. - no NT quotes ?
Confidence in the Lord expressed as he cries out to be saved from his many enemies.

Psalm 4 David - 8 vs. - 4.4 in Ephesians 4.26
God answers prayer. Confidence expressed in Him.

Psalm 5 David - 12 vs. - 5.9--Romans 3.13
David says the Lord rejects the wicked and pleas for the Lord to call them to fall and give refuge to the righteous.

5.8 enemies in the Psalms would be an interesting study.
5.10 fall by their own counsels The wicked do it to themselves.
5.12 interesting combination of the words shield and favor

4.4 Here ...ponder in your own beds and be silent but in Eph. 2.26 Do not let the sun go down on your anger. I am thinking about the relationship between the two statements.
4.8 great verse for returning soldiers
