Psalm 37 is, according to a recent interview with The Daily Signal, House Speaker Mike Johnson's preferred biblical passage. Johnson, a Republican hailing from Louisiana, characterised the entirety of the psalm as a "life's passage" and elaborated on its contemporary relevance. For solace, he even mentioned opening the Bible in the congressional chapel to Psalm 37.

Forty verses in length, Psalm 37 stresses the significance of having faith in the Lord and not harboring resentment toward transgressors. A comforting reminder to believers that the prosperity of those who commit evil is transient, the verse states that the wicked will have their arms severed, while the Lord maintains the pious.
Johnson addressed the double standard in the media's depiction of faith in a separate interview. The speaker underscored the notable disparity in the characterization of the Catholic faith of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett from President Joe Biden, who is deemed "devout," to the contrary, which he termed "extreme." Johnson denounced the absurd double standard of the mainstream media and emphasized that Barrett is a close friend of his.
Johnson further elucidated his position on Israel by asserting that a biblical proverb bestows blessings upon the nation that adores Israel and admonishes the nation that belittles Israel. He argued that for freedom-loving Americans, this is not only a matter of faith, but also of stability. Johnson emphasized that Israel's status as the sole democracy in the region is pivotal in preserving stability and exemplifying significant values.
Johnson's political views and actions remain undeniably influenced by his Christian faith, which he upholds as a member of Cypress Baptist Church. Johnson is a force as House Speaker while remaining steadfast in his faith, utilizing his preferred psalm, political acumen, and firm convictions.
