Songs For The Heart: A Study of Selected Psalms

By Larry Hemphill

Through the centuries the Psalms have been a favorite portion of Scripture for both Christians and Jews. The Book of the Psalms was the song book of Israel. The music has been lost, but we still have the lyrics. The language of the Psalms is more from the heart than the head. They represent a variety of responses to a variety of life situations. The Psalms are a sampling of spiritual journals, a brief glimpse into the life of a pilgrim. It is as if we are reading over the shoulder of the author as he addresses his thoughts and feelings to God. We observe as he tries to align what he believes about God with what he is experiencing. The content of the Psalms is as disordered and messy as life itself. As artists, the writers seek not only to convey a mental picture, but also seek to do so using a pallet of emotions rather than colors. As you enter into each chapter, do so as if leisurely walking among the exhibits of a great art gallery. Allow the diverse expressions of the psalmists to nurture your heart.
