Clearly you haven't been pray-reading these verses, because the Holy Spirit hasn't yet come to fill you, and dwell in you richly, and reveal the Son. ~John 14:26 Try it sometime. Psalm 18:19 is every bit the word of Christ that Psalm 16:10 is. Or do you think a different Spirit comes when you pray-read Psalm 18? A "wrong concept" spirit?
What about verse 20. Are we now supposed to pray read that God delights in us because of our own goodness? "Oh Lord ,like David you delight in me because of my goodness"..seems not like a prayer that the Spirit of Christ would inspire. Where is the blood of Christ and unmerited favor in this verse?
