Luther writes on Psalm 118:
What is all the money and wealth in the world compared with one sunlit day? Were the sun to stop shining for one day, who would not rather be dead; for what would then be the value of wealth and power? What would the finest wine ... in the world amount to if we had to go without water for one day? What would our magnificent castles, houses, silk, satin, purple, golden jewellery, precious stones, all our pomp and glitter help us if we had to do without air for the length of one “Our Father”? (LW vol. 14 p. 48)
