In the name of the Father and of + the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The 33rd Psalm, as Luther writes, is a general psalm thanking the Lord for "helping his faithful people in all kinds of distress and for not letting them perish."
In our day Christians have used this Psalm, and others like it, to take pride or exhort their country to faithfulness to the LORD. Read verses 12 and following,
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He chose for His inheritance."
Read Luther's commentary, the Psalm and prayer. Consider how you would go about understanding these verses. We'll pick up from here in a few days.
