“"I have loved," the psalmist says, "because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer." It is not in the power of everyone to say "I have loved," but of him who is already perfect and beyond the fear of slavery and who has been formed in the spirit of adoption as children. He does not add to "I have loved" the word so…”
Basil of Caesarea, 4th c. — HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 22
