All of the Psalms have been spoken and arranged by the Spirit so that the emotions of our soul may be understood in them according to what was written before-time, and so that all of them may have been written as about us and become our very own words, for a reminder of our emotions and a corrective of our conduct. Those things the psalmists have said are types and characterizations of us.
Athanasius — Letter to Marcellinus 12.
