One way around this conundrum – dissonance, so-called – is by way of analogy. “Now, the things which are seen (David, Goliath, a slingshot) are not real, but the things which are not seen (spiritual forces) are real” (2 Corinthians 4:18)

Hey bro Aron, I'm down with this. I've done this, and am handy with it still today. I can see things in a spiritual way. That's one of the ways I look at things.
But it's not the only way. I prefer every way available as a means to look at things. And I weigh them against each other.
And yes we can, spiritualize the Psalms, and say they are the words of Jesus.
But that doesn't make it so. It's just, as someone said out here, a hippie way of looking at it.
