Preserve Me, O God, for in You I Take Refuge
In Psalm 16:1-11, David displays a contrast between the child of God and the person who follows false gods.

Psalm 118:1-29 contains the song of joy sung by the people to Jesus on the first Palm Sunday. Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven declares the day of salvation, the day of shining, and the day of steadfast love. “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
