Lessons from Matthew and the Psalms

The readings begin with Matthew 16, giving the wonderful lesson of self-denial taught to us through Peter; Matthew 17 of the transfiguration; 18, God's marvelous mercy and man's inhumanity; 19, our duty toward the law; 20, the remarkable parable of the laborers and the lesson of Jesus to the sons of Zebedee; 21, the riding into Jerusalem, the cleansing of the temple, the lesson of the fig-tree, and the parables of the two sons and the wicked husbandmen, and the marriage feast. Our Sabbath reading is Psalm 90, "A Prayer of Moses the Man of God;" Psalm 91, the blessedness of trust in God and His marvelous kindness; and 92, a song for the Sabbath day. The author of these last two psalms is not named.
