Brief Suggestions as to the Christian Use of each Psalm
The following suggestions, which follow the lines of the preceding lectures, do not claim any special authority, except in cases noted, where the New Testament or the Church's actual use has appropriated a Psalm to some particular Christian application.
PSALM i. Beatus vir
The Church's witness to the blessedness of the life of holiness, based on obedience to the revealed Word of God (the great example of which is the life of Christ Himself); with which is contrasted the eternal failure of the ungodly.
PSALM ii. Quare fremuerunt gentes?
Acts iv. 25-28. Easter Day, morning (Prayer Book)
The futile warfare of the princes of this world against Christ and His Church. The certainty of Christ's victory and His universal kingdom, as seen in His Resurrection and Ascension.
