“We can get so caught up with the kind of communal worship we think is attractive and acceptable that we can lose sight of or ignore what really counts. Our attention is drawn not to music and song but to a message that pulls us up short and makes us consider where we stand before God.” (Volume 1, Page 27)

“God’s word has been given that we might humble ourselves and mend our ways. We are called to reform our worship and our lives in accord with the teaching of God’s revealed Word. This is why the Bible is to be central in our worship.” (Volume 1, Page 28)

“It is suggested that verse 22 was a proverbial saying that was used to indicate a reversal of fortunes. What was cast aside as worthless has been given a place of honour. The ‘chief corner-stone’ could either be a large foundation stone holding together at a corner of the building two walls of stone at right angles to each other or a keystone at the top of a building holding an arch together (see Ephesians 2:20).” (Volume 2, Page 314)

“Psalm 1 not only functions as an introduction to the entire collection but also to the third section of the Hebrew Bible called ‘The Writings’⁶ and reminds us that first and foremost the Book of Psalms is divine revelation, part of Holy Scripture, making us wise about salvation and profitable for the building up of God’s people (2 Timothy 3:15–17).” (Volume 1, Page 28)

“The psalm is a stimulus to Christians to share their experiences and what they have learnt with fellow believers for their own encouragement and comfort.” (Volume 1, Page 216)
