The Psalms of King David (Psalms) QUESTIONS

It is my opinion that it is not enough to attempt to avoid evil by memorizing hymns. You can spend as many wasted hours humming hymns as singing rock songs.  Neither one will particularly elevate you. Meditating on doctrine, pressing understanding, pondering deeply and engaging the mysteries of God are what will fill the mind with light.  Having said that, music and the frequencies they emit can positively or negatively affect the soul. 

Why were the Psalms quoted by Christ more than any other scripture?
