Psalms 8, 19, 29, 32, 65, 68, 103, 108, 138
What with reading what feels like half the Psalter today, and with all Fred’s commentary from last year, I’m guessing you don’t want much more from me, so I’ll try to be uncharacteristically brief. Take advantage of your fresh knowledge of David’s story. Put yourself in his shoes as you read his songs and gain insights from that perspective. But also recognize that the Psalms are timeless, as relevant to us today as when written. They are also often prophetic, looking forward to the Christ, so pay attention to those little cross-references your Bible may provide, showing how the New Testament quotes and interprets the Psalms (for example, Ps. 8:2 in Mt. 21:16 or Ps. 8:4-6 in Heb. 2:6-8 and I Cor. 15:27).
The Psalms are rich. Let them speak Truth into your heart, and let them sing praise and worship from your heart.
