“When the temple came to be built in Jerusalem various psalms were sung as part of the daily liturgy. On Monday it was Psalm 48, Tuesday Psalm 82, Wednesday Psalm 94, Thursday Psalm 81, Friday Psalm 93, and on the Sabbath Psalm 92. On the first day of the week they sang Psalm 24. The very day that Jesus tore away the bars of death and marched in triumph from the tomb the temple choir was scheduled to sing this victorious psalm.” (Psalm 24)

“In Hebrew it literally means He brings back my soul.” (Psalm 23:1–3)

“‘His delight is in the law of the Lord.’ He has a different counselor than the ungodly man, he finds different company than the sinful man, he has a different cause than the scornful man. His first love is for the Word of God.” (Psalm 1:2)

“The godly man is separated from the world. He avoids the perils and pitfalls which lie along the path trodden by those who have no love for the Lord.” (Psalm 1:1)

“The sinner has no standing in the day of judgment. He will be summoned to the great white throne there to find that the heaven and the earth have fled away. Everything familiar will be gone. Everything he has sought to build, everything in which he has invested his time and his talents—gone! He has nowhere to stand. He has built his house upon the sand and the judgment has swept it all away.” (Psalm 1:5)
