Psalm

 

Psalm

This is the songbook of the Bible. It’s a poem sung to musical accompaniment. The Psalm’s express man’s praise to God for who He is and what He does. It is a Psalm of a full range of emotions, from ecstatic joy to despair, fear, anger, wonder, hatred, anxiety, doubt and love. All emotions that we all experienced at one time or another.

It has been throughout all the ages, when God’s people gather, whether in times of grief or celebration, they sing. Singing was an integral part of worship in Israel.

To read the words in Psalms is to read lyrics that once echoed off the walls of the temple in Jerusalem.

Psalms is the longest book in the Bible. They were used in the temple during the time of Christ and then in synagogues following the dispersion of the Jews.

Sometimes when we cannot find the words to express our fears, joys and longings or sorrows into prayers, we can grasp the expression written in this book.

Let these songs help you love God with all your heart and soul by teaching you to open yourself to Him.

Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for Hope, The King James Bible and the Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Commentary.
