Satan Quoting the Psalms
Bishop Hacket. Luke 4:9-13 And in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.… A man would have thought Satan would have skipped the Book of the Psalms though he had searched over all the Scripture beside. It is the volume of joy, of consolation, of alacrity, the very songs of angels. "Is any man merry, let him sing psalms," says St. James. Is there any use of that sweet harmony for him that lives in perpetual torment? (Bishop Hacket.) Parallel Verses KJV: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. WEB: and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"
