Even the failures have Christ nearby. When David writes in Psalm 51 that if God restores him, he'll teach other sinners, you can sense Christ restoring sinners so that they can likewise shepherd others (see Jesus' dialogs with Peter, for example). There is so much "Christ" here to be seen. No wonder the Psalms were cited so extensively by the authors of the NT!
And yet Lee seemed oblivious to all of this.

I think you will find he was willfully ignorant. Many of those verses that he tried to skip, ignore and dismiss condemned him.
