Psalm 47
“The reason why he ascended…was to preserve us forever in God’s grace through his intercessions and to give us power and victory over the terrors of sin, Satan…” and the temptations of this world and our flesh (Luther, Ps.110, LW, vol. 13, p. 320).

John Donne: “O strong Ram, which hath batter'd heaven for me,
Mild Lamb, which with thy blood, has mark'd the path;
Bright torch, which shin'st that I the way may see,”
