This Psalm


"This Psalm is spoken in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ, both head and members. He is the head,we are the members. Not without good reason then, his voice is ours and our voice is also his. Let us therefore listen to the Psalm and recognize in it the voice of Christ."
(from St. Augustine).
The Psalms are the most frequently quoted Old Testament book in the New Testament. It is a book for public worship and individual devotional guidance. Seventeen psalms and many others are messianic in that they point to Christ. For these reasons,the psalms should be a daily part of our devotional life.
