Top Highlights
“Thus, Psalm 90 stands in grand isolation as the oldest psalm in history, one of the grandest psalms ever penned, and the first great masterpiece of the Hebrew hymnbook.” (Psalm 90)
“The psalmist was no hypocrite. He knew that there were depths of wickedness lurking in his own heart. He knew its secret lusts. Like a sensible man, faced with the omniscience of God, he did not try to hide his inner thoughts. He opened them up to God’s inspection. He pleaded that the Lord would lead him in the way everlasting—that not only his inward life, but his outward life might be pleasing to the God he cannot escape (and, clearly, from whom he had no desire to escape).” (Psalm 139:23–24)
“‘If the Lord build not the house, they labor in vain that build it.’ The truth applies to us as much as to Solomon. It applies to every local church and assembly, to every effort made down here to build God’s house, that great ‘habitation of God through the Spirit.’ It is not going to be built by super-programs, by slick advertising, by TV commercials; it is not going to be built by oratory in the pulpit or by excellence in the choir; it is not going to be built by high-pressure evangelism, by vast sums of money, by well-organized missions. It is going to be built by the Holy Spirit, by Christ living in and through believers.” (Psalm 127:1a)
“Its interpretation belongs to an Old Testament people in an Old Testament place walking in Old Testament piety. God has not promised us immunity from persecution, but He has promised to go with us through fire and flood and fear: ‘Lo, I am with you always.’” (Psalm 91:5–10)
