THE PSALMS

'The Psalms that teach us to pray by metaphor, using the experience of the sense to develop within us the experience of faith, come to fulfillment in Christ who was actual flesh and blood ("which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands," 1 John 1:1) thereby vindicating the goodness of the entire material creation.' 
Eugene H Peterson, Answering God, p.78.
