“If the Exodus and Moses laid the foundation of the Psalms, David and his contemporaries built most nobly thereon. It is worthy of comment that our soldiers today have emphatically requested that the Book of Psalms be bound with the New Testament for their devotional reading. Is not this because the Singers of Israel were expressing the deepest human longings and emotions? In every great crisis hungry souls turn to the poems that were born in times of great religious fervor, and those of David’s era outshine the rest....Throughout the ages singing has been a major feature of great revivals.” — Benjamin R. Lacy, Jr., Revivals in the Midst of the Years (1943), p. 13
