Psalm 118 is described as,''apples of gold in a basket of silver',it is a Psalm praising God for His deliverance, here are a few verses from it,
' The Lord is on my side;I will not fear
It is better to trust in the Lord,
Than put confidence in man,
It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put trust in princes
The Lord helped me
The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly
I shall not die,but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
This Psalm was Luther's favourite, he said, '' It had saved me from many a pressing danger, from which nor emperor, nor kings, nor sages,nor saints,could have saved me''. he wrote a wonderful hymn,here are the opening words,'A safe stronghold our God is still, a trusty shield and weapon; He'll help us clear from all the ill,that hath us now o'ertaken .' Martin Luther in standing for the truth put himself in great danger,but God in his mercy delivered him.
