When I was an atheist I read psalms. Shortly before becoming a christian I just felt compelled to read, even though I didn't understand them.
Now, a decade after becoming a christian, these verses come to life thanks to Donald Trump, which is funny, because many christians see Trump as a David figure: deeply flawed leader of a nation whom is blessed mightily by God.
Here's David's most popular Psalm...I think verses 4 and 5 apply to Donald:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in [b]green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
Psalm 13, New King James Version
