Nourished by the Scripture, we should learn to penetrate so deeply into
the meeting of the psalms that we sing them not as though they have been
composed by prophet, but as if we ourselves have written them, as if this psalm
were out own private prayer to God, uttered amid the deepest compunction of our
heart. We should think of the psalms as having been specially composed for us,
and recognize that they are expressing is real - not simply historically so in
the life and person of the prophet, but now, today, they are being fulfilled in
our lives.
St. John Cassian
