The last of these, Psalm 72, is also a lovely example of the fourfold sense of Scripture.

The literal sense teaches                 what took place

The allegorical sense                        what you ought to believe                 (faith)     credenda

The tropological/moral sense        what you ought to do                         (love)      agenda

The anagogical sense                       what you must hope for                     (hope)    speranda

In Psalm 72, Christ is the true Solomon (allegorical), so serve him now (tropological), knowing you will reign with him in the future (anagogical).

A Trinitarian rereading of the psalms - Book 1

 In the wonderful The Triune God, Fred Sanders praises the work of a medieval theologian who composed a Trinitarian response to each of the psalms. Fred writes:

The Carolingian theologian Gerhohus the Great (1093-1169) [AKA Gerhoch of Reichersberg] concluded his commentary on each of the psalms with a customised trinitarian Gloria Patri keyed to the vocabulary and themes of each psalm. It is a very sophisticated manoeuvre. Gerhohus is not finding the Trinity revealed in each psalm, but is making use of the psalm’s discrete witness, its distinctive way of speaking, in a canonical celebration of the full counsel of the Bible…

Gerhoch’s Trinitarian psalm doxologies are models of Trinitarian interpretation of the Old Testament. They are rereadings in light of the later developments of the story of salvation told in the canon. They negotiate the canonical hinge expertly, letting the Old Testament maintain its discrete witness rather than ignoring the unrevealedness of the Trinity under the old covenant. The rich vocabulary of the psalms infuses and enriches the Trinitarian theology in such a way that the Old Testament actually influences trinitarian theology. While they include many fanciful leaps of association, they are fundamentally grounded in Jesus' own appropriation of the Psalms as his personal voice. They point forward to the events of the incarnation and Pentecost, permitting us to distinguish adumbration from revelation. They are uniquely creative, yet grounded in a widespread tradition of Christian use of the psalms. (pp235-37)

        I'm not sure of the extent to which Gerhoch is dependent on Christian tradition. Certainly some of the gloria reflect quite ancient interpretations - for example, the gloria for Psalm 3 is essentially a distillation of Augustine's exposition. Whatever the balance of tradition and creativity, though, they are such a stimulating example of theological interpretation and a model of the instinct to ascribe glory to the God we now name as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

        I'm also not sure that they are readily available anywhere in a collection, so I've started gathering them from  J. N. Neale and R. F. Littledale's A Commentary on the Psalms: From Primitive and Mediaeval Writers. 4 vols. London: Joseph Masters, 1868. 

Below are the gloria for Book 1 of the psalms. More to follow...
