How have I been a Christian and Bible reader for YEARS and never heard the Psalms described this way!? So brilliant... as usual!

[@its_bobhermanus]

The best in the business.

[@cortneycross802]

That’s how I feel about all of their content lol like I don’t think I have understood anything honestly-but I’m a skeptical person too and don’t easily trust… so we have to study in community for the rest of our life- something they also mentioned in a video I watched. It’s like, I don’t want to believe certain things bc they sound good I want to know the truth and it seems hard. Almost impossible to really know the true interpretation! Why would God leave us down here to try and figure it out? Why not be more clear and direct-just have one way!? It seems like a set up… but I know it isn’t. Praying God helps me!

[@Doreen_Virtue]

Brilliant and beautiful! “Psalms is a prayer book for exiles, designed as a virtual literary temple. You enter the Psalms to meet with God, and to hear the entire biblical story of God’s kingdom sung back to you in poetry.” This is my favorite Bible Project video, thank you! It also compliments the great article about the Exile in the current Bible Project quarterly magazine.

After leading many people on the wrong path you're now an expert on biblical studies but you're just regurgitating what you've learned here. I'm sure you're still making lots of money now you have repented and become a Christian. I am really pleased that you have become a child of God. Just don't make lots of money out of it like you did with your angel worship

Hi 😊

[@flyboogie]

I love the psalms. Since I’ve started reading the Bible I’ve always felt a connection with the book. I have had severe anxiety (it’s been so much better these days, praise God! ) I would listen to the psalms constantly during these episodes. They have always been able to calm my fears and put me at ease. When I read them they bring me to tears and I feel as though they where written specifically for me. I remember seeing words of my own prayers in them for the first time and feeling such an amazing connection to God. It is truly an awesome book. My favourite is psalm 91 💜

Reminds me Ps 137: 1 By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Zion. 2 On the willows there we hung up our lyres. 3 For there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors, mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion! 4 How shall we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land?

I have only recently discovered The Bible Project and it has created a hunger in this 62 year old lady to know God more and to dive deeper into His word. Last night I was up most of the night praying the Psalms over my sweet grandson who is in the NICU unit. I went from anxiousness to inexplicable peace. The peace that passes human understanding. And watching this video on psalms helps me to understand the bigger beautiful picture. God bless you all.
