But where in the NT does it say that only those explicit citations apply, and the rest are vain? Here is my first post on this thread (see esp bolded):

In chapter 1, verse 1 footnote, LSM introduces the Psalms as either written by "fallen man's concept", i.e. the tree of knowledge of good and evil, or by a "revelation of Christ". LSM with the "God's economy" template, naturally gets to decide which are which.
So Psalm 1 is a "natural concept of David" Psalm.
Then Psalm 2 is a revelation of Christ.
Then Psalms 3 through 7 were written according to "David's concept".
Then Psalm 8 is a "revelation of Christ" psalm.
Then Psalms 9-15 are full of the concepts of good and evil, and void of Christ. See footnotes in 9:3 and 15:1. The intervening psalms (9 through 15)pass without mention (i.e. footnotes).
Then psalm 16 is a "revelation" psalm. Footnotes ensue.
Then psalms 17-21 are "David's concept" psalms. See footnote 17:1.
Out of the first 21 chapters of the Psalms, only 3 have any value according to the 'God's economy' metric. The rest are seen merely as placeholders, or worse.
So we are supposed to believe that David was limited by his "concepts" while WL entertained no concepts? All I see in the Psalms footnotes are concepts, and rather shallow and rudimentary ones at that..
