The Book of Psalms was like the ancient Israelites’ hymnal. Much like our hymnal today, it contains many different kinds of songs to help people express themselves and hear God’s voice, both in public worship and in personal prayer times. We read and think about many kinds of psalms today—psalms for days when we are in the depths of despair, days when we’re just walking along in life, and day’s when we’re celebrating. Whatever day you’re having, there’s a psalm for it!
The psalms we read were Psalms 1, 13, 15, 60, 85, 113, 121, 150. (Read them online here.)
If you want more in-depth Psalm study and thinking, check out the Bible Study video series we did in the fall of 2020. We covered Psalms 110, 8, 16, 22, 31, 32, 34, 40, 53, 69, 91, 95, & 118. Click here to bring up the first video in that series, and there will be a playlist to the right for you to scroll down and look at the other video studies available (in Psalms and other books).
