Psalms 108, 109, 120, 121, 140, 143, 144

In Psalm 109 David is praying for God’s judgement against the wicked, and against his enemy, however at least a portion of this chapter is prophetic of Judas, and that someone else will take his place (verse 8). Psalms 120-134 are all called “Psalms of Ascents”, and tradition has it that the people in Israel would sing these psalms when they are traveling “up” to Jerusalem to celebrate one of the annual feasts. Jerusalem is higher in elevation than most of the rest of Israel, and the cities in that country. David continually looks to the Lord for deliverance and blessing.
