Since some churches like holding traditional styles of concerts, she can use that style of music when she is required to do so and she can also use it for prelude or processional hymns and, she can adapt herself to the demanded style of music. If the congregation favors the contemporary style of music, she can most possibly…

He owned his mistake and he was going to take whatever consequence was coming to him because he knew that God was still good. Psalm fifty-one corresponds with this passage of scripture.

Martin Luther King Jr. also created a Biblical reference to Psalm 23 as he compared segregation to a dark and desolate valley, which referred to the valley of the shadow of death (King, 1963, para 5).
