Psalm 115

Psalm 115:1–18 talks about the fact that the pagan gods are mere idols. This would be a good song to sing before your sermon, making it clear to God’s people that the gods of the nations are not gods at all.

Psalm 34

The end of Psalm 34:1–22 encourages God’s people by explaining what it means to fear the Lord. This would be a good song to sing after your sermon.
