“The sequence in verse 4 is crucial. We must first dwell with the Lord and He with us. Next, we must behold His beauty in worship and praise. Then and only then are we ready to inquire of Him when our hearts are open to hear His Word rather than the mere echo of our own prayers.” (Page 223)

“David’s cry for ‘mercy’ is a cry for release from the presence and power of sin. His willingness to call upon God in the depths of his despair is based upon God’s character—His ‘lovingkindness’ or covenant-love, and His ‘tender mercies.’” (Page 387)

“For the Bible, life is a journey offering two roads. Regardless of how offensive this idea may be to the modern mind, it is ‘either / or,’ rather than ‘both / and.’ There are two perceptions of reality: the supernatural and the natural. There are two conflicting kingdoms: the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. There are two entry points: the wide gate leading to destruction and the narrow gate leading to life (Matt. 7:13–14). As Francis Schaeffer stresses, unlike Hegel’s dialectic (thesis, antithesis, synthesis), biblical thought is antithetical: thesis / antithesis. There is no reconciliation of opposites (synthesis).” (Pages 24–25)

“The Lord is defined as David’s ‘light’ and ‘salvation.’ As light God is the revealer (John 1:4–5), and as light God is also holy (1 John 1:5). Since the Lord is David’s light, in His presence the darkness of his enemies and the darkness of his fears are expelled.” (Page 221)

“When God’s people, weak and strong alike, begin to praise His name, the realm of Satan and his demons is rolled back.” (Page 79)
