- "...even the psalm's doubly repeated closing plea to 'prosper for us the work of our hands?O prosper the work of our hands' is not just a plea, but a promise. The promise that the work done by mortal hands here on earth can make a lasting difference, when the eternal one in heaven blesses it."

- "The Aaronic blessing says, 'The Lord make his face to shine upon you...The Lord lift up his countenance upon you.' The Bible, however, recognizes some ambiguity in that metaphor, for God's gaze that protects is also a gaze that exposes."
