“Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.” (Psalm 16:1) The Psalms offer us a comfort and peace that we may not feel right at this moment. When we are having a difficult time but we read the psalmists proclaiming their joy in the Lord, it’s not hypocritical to pray these prayers. Rather, we’re asking God, “Even in these circumstances, give me …

“O LORD, who shall sojourn in your tent?” (Psalm 15:1) The Psalms are as practical and relevant as any other part of the Bible. They are poetry, yes, but they are songs that are meant to teach us, shape us, and form us. They give us the wisdom and instruction that we need to live a life with God according to his ways. The Woven Psalms is a reflecti…

“The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psalm 14:1) The Psalms don’t assume that we share their worldview; they acknowledge that there are people who think differently about God and the meaning of life. Yet they also attempt to persuade us to align with the biblical worldview so that we would avoid what is evil and false and find what is …

“How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?” (Psalm 13:1) The Psalms ask God questions – hard questions, big questions, questions that we might think God would be offended to hear. The psalmists are unafraid to be utterly, brutally honest with God because he welcomes us and hears us. Ironically, expressing this kind of raw emotion to God leads u…

“Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone…” (Psalm 12:1) The Psalms are words. They are the words of the psalmists, and they are the words of God, inspired and inerrant. And sometimes these psalms speak about words themselves, teaching us how to respond to and rely on God’s Word in our daily lives. The Woven Psalms is a reflective, unhurried, and pr…

“In the LORD I take refuge…” (Psalm 11:1) The Psalms bring us into the middle of the situations that the psalmists are experiencing. The action is happening, the conversation is already taking place, and we’re pulled into it because this is how real life works. We need God’s help in the midst of the mess. The Woven Psalms is a reflective, unhurried…

“Why, O LORD, do you stand far away?” (Psalm 10:1) The Psalms offer us an analysis of evil. When the psalmists cry out to God for justice and refuge from suffering, they often describe those who are causing them this misery. Therefore, the Psalms serve as a warning for us. If we see ourselves in these descriptions of wickedness, it will hopefully l…

“I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart…” (Psalm 9:1) The Psalms are often written from the perspective of the sufferers and the oppressed. We are given an opportunity to hear the cries of the victims, and when we ourselves are victims to injustice and evil, we can find comfort in these ancient prayers that give voice to our pain. The W…

“O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” (Psalm 8:1) The Psalms are about God; they are prayers and songs meant to guide our hearts in worship to the Creator and Savior. Yet the Psalms are also about us; they explore the human experience, they demonstrate the depth and breadth of human emotion, they show us the role of human …

“O LORD my God, in you do I take refuge…” (Psalm 7:1) The Psalms have a balanced perspective on justice. The Bible doesn’t often allow us to see people as entirely innocent or entirely guilty, because even the most innocent victim can do wrong in the way they call for justice and even the most guilty criminal can change their ways and be reformed. …

“O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath.” (Psalm 6:1) The Psalms are much more honest with emotions than we are. We often hide how we feel not only from others but also from ourselves or from God. We might feel pressure to say that we’re fine even when our lives are crumbling. But the Psalms can open a pressure release…

“Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.” (Psalm 5:1) The Psalms invite us to meditate not only on what we are experiencing and how we are feeling but also on the character of God. They honor the troubles and distress that we’re in, but then they lift our eyes out of our circumstances so that we can see how God fits in with everything a…

“Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!” (Psalm 4:1) The Psalms are literary masterpieces, some of the greatest poems and songs ever written, and like all great works of art, they surprise you and take you down paths you didn’t expect. They force you to think, to ask, “Why did the author say this and not that?” They are meditation litera…

“O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me…” (Psalm 3:1) The Psalms are sometimes written out of a specific situation and life event for the author, but they are also written to be sung and prayed by the people of God in every time and age and situation. For example, most of us have not experienced a time when our child formed a rebe…

“Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?” (Psalm 2:1) The Psalms are global in their scale. Yes, there are many psalms that are intimate and personal prayers, but there are also many psalms that are broad and universal, aiming to give us a grand vision of the world from God’s perspective. Beggars and kings, those who suffer and those …

“Blessed is the man…” (Psalm 1:1) The Psalms are the prayerbook and songbook of God’s people, so they are examples and models of how to talk with God. But they are also more than that. The Psalms teach us how to be in a relationship with God; they are a guide to know who God is, who we are, and what it means to live according to God’s ways. The Psa…
