Messianic refers to parts of the Old Testament that are quoted in the New Testament. Psalm 8 is a messianic psalm. It is quoted three times and one of those was by Jesus Himself. This psalm talks about the Son of Man, Jesus, being God. When Jesus quotes it in Hebrews 2, 5-8 He is talking about putting all things under Him and giving your life to Him. It is obvious that we do not put all things under Him! But this psalm and in Hebrews tells us we should. Clearly we as Christians need to put ALL things under Him and be subject to Jesus !
Psalm 9 is the first of two (psalm 10) which form an acrostic in the Hebrew language. That is probably why psalms 9 and 10 are put together in the Septuagint. It would be similar if the letter A started verse 1 and the letter B started the second verse and so forth except in Hebrew. There are three possible interpretations for this psalm written by David. This psalm is also known as "death of a son". The first is it refers to David and Bathsheba's son dying, the second is the death of Goliath, and the third is when the the Jews were delivered from slavery by the death of the first born of Egypt.
