You are sort of correct. Their is no pre-Christian part of the Bible but I understand what you mean. John 1:1 "In the beginning the Word was with God and the Word was God." Jesus is the Word,he was present at creation and is referred to over 700 times in the OT.With that said this scripture also applies.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

I guess what i should have said is that Psalms was written before the birth of Jesus and the Scripture on the card therefore had no specific references to Jesus.
I'm interpreting the "Him" as God (Jehovah)as the Psalmist would have.
By the way, I'm not a practicing religionist. More of a deist than anything. Still, I appreciate the value of faith and wish you a Merry Christmas.
