The book of Psalms is a treasure at the heart of the Bible. In many ways, these poems and songs functioned as the hymnbook of the Old Testament and yet were not limited to an Old Testament relevance: second only to Isaiah the book of Psalms is directly quoted over 400 times in the New Testament. 150 unique psalms written over many years, by a wide array of authors, and springing from a diversity of real-life circumstances unify to give us a full spectrum of what it means to bear God’s image in a broken world and to relate to God authentically as broken people.
The psalms allow us to open up our hearts and pour out what lies on the bottom – through lament, through jubilant praising, through desperate pleas for mercy. The psalms allow us to express our lives honestly before God’s face because he cares for us!
