Top Highlights
“The relationship to others in the community is also not what it ought to be (vv. 8, 10). Put in other terms, the psalmist’s problems with God as expressed in verses 1–3 have physical, psychological, and social dimensions. Wise healers, whether they be pastors, physicians, psychologists, or social workers, have always known that all of these dimensions are important for wellness.” (Page 19)
“The words ‘for you are with me’ appear precisely in the middle of the psalm” (Page 73)
“At the center of this psalm is the statement ‘for you are with me.’” (Page 73)
“The reason for this absence of fear follows immediately, as the psalmist switches from talking about the Lord, the Shepherd, to speaking to the Lord: ‘for you are with me.’” (Page 73)
“Stephen also spoke dying words from this psalm: ‘While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit’ ’ (Acts 7:59; see Ps. 31:5).” (Page 99)
