Psalm 45 ("My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.") Psalm 72 ("Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.") Psalm 101 ("I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.")
Divine providence and the internal battle within one's soul are the two main themes of this psalm. It speaks of the journey of self-realization about the evils around the world but also coming back and realizing the plan of God. Psalm 73 deals with how the righteous are to respond to corruption within the ranks of wealth, power and influence.

Palmer Robertson observes the concept of a priest-king seen in Psalm 110 is also seen in the post-exilic minor prophet Zechariah 6:12-13, emphasizing the priest-king will also build the Lord's temple and rule as priest on the throne.
The gifts of the magi are some of the best known items in the Gospel of Matthew. They are often linked to Isaiah 60:6 and Psalm 72. Both of these verses report gifts being given by kings. This played the central role in the tradition that developed that the magi were kings, something that is never stated in the scripture.
