What is a Saint.... it's someone who believes and acts upon their belief. This Psalm is is an acrostic poem, each verse beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

And when you consider this Psalm being sung in the First and Second Temple in Jerusalem, you realize, this is about learning to praise God as He propels us into our lives. The saints who fled Roman persecution believed and took the Good News of Jesus Christ into countries - like Germany - where the demon god of war was worshiped. The Book of Acts repeated for these missionaries. The Word spread as people used their desire to flee as missionary work.

The LORD preserved the people who turned to Scripture during the 400 years of Roman persecution. And today we still have the Scriptures even before the Dead Sea Scrolls (those people were fleeing as well) and the Septuaginta ; Jews in antiquity wished to present the Scriptures as authoritative.  More amazing, because of the integrity of many (protected by Father God) we have the luxury of Scripture today we can compare to the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint.

In God's Power, the Lord preserves those who love Him. The Lord preserves those who fall down, and those who call upon Him in Truth. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works.


Psalm 91:14
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.


Psalm 9:10
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 20:1
May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
