The Book of Psalms

The book of Psalms is the largest collection of poetry in the Bible. In this video, we’ll explore the design shape and main themes of this marvelous book, which was crafted to be read from beginning to end. The Psalms are an invitation to a literary temple where you can meet with God and hear the entire biblical storyline retold in poetic form.

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

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 💜

“My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” -Jesus in Mark 15 Referring to Psalm 22 which has within it multiple details from the Crucifixion account. Hands and feet being pierced is mentioned and David wrote this centuries prior to crucifixion being practiced! Praise the Lord. Call on the Lord to be saved for He is merciful and his love is steadfast. Read Psalm 51 and give Him your life if you haven’t yet, while there’s time bc lif is but a vapor (James 4). I know bc I almost died 2 months ago!!! Evangelize while there’s time!
