1 Samuel 27:1–12 (ESV)

1 Then David said in his heart, “Now I shall perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand.”

In the Parable of the Tenants, Jesus quotes from Psalm 118. The Pharisees and Teachers of the Law think they can get the Son’s inheritance if they take his life. They are deceived in their thinking for the stone that they rejected becomes the cornerstone upon which the LORD has built salvation. Psalm 118 would thus be a good song to sing in response to your sermon/as part of your liturgy.
