Why This Matters
The psalmist celebrated how God draws praise from the mouths of children. When children in the temple courts shouted 'Hosanna to the Son of David,' the religious leaders were indignant. Jesus silenced them by quoting this very psalm. God's praise cannot be suppressed—even children declare the truth that the powerful refuse to see.
