… I don’t know… I find it hard to pinpoint any other truths which would not be mentioned in Psalms, those 150 chapters pretty much touch all theological doctrines.

What about Jesus? Although the Psalms certainly foreshadow him and his work, he is never mentioned explicitly. I think Pilgrim made a comment in another thread on this topic a while back that he couldn't imagine never singing a hymn that didn't mention Jesus (sorry, I'm working from memory here. I'll try to find the thread later). There are many truths/theological doctrines contained in the Psalms that are much more fully explained/revealed in the New Testament. Shouldn't we be able to use that much more complete knowledge of God's truth to write hymns?


Edit: Actually, I seemed to have missed some of the posts in this thread. I just saw this point is discussed above. Sorry for being redundant.
