I agree. I don't think that it is an accurate quote, but more like a paraphrase. I don't believe he meant that one gets the whole counsel of God, but rather the whole thought presented in the Psalm. His point was more, it's good to praise God, but much better to know why you do it...and you can do that if you sing the whole thing.

Well, by God's good and wise providence I am in a church that neither sings the Psalms nor too many hymns. So I do it at home. My Bible and my hymnbook have not yet been taken away.
