_ _ The Spirit of the Lord spake by me — Nothing can more clearly show that all that is excellent in spirit, beautiful in language, or grand in prophetic imagery, which the Psalms of David contain, were owing, not to his superiority in natural talents or acquired knowledge, but to the suggestion and dictates of God’s Spirit.

See commentary on 2 Samuel 23:1-7.
