Knowing God Through The Psalms - Part 1, Introducing The Psalms

Messages that matter by Dr. Andrew Corbett

The Book of Psalms has helped millions of believers to articulate their worship of GOD. These 150 Psalms are written as poetry which express prayers, experiences, desires. The Book of the Five Volumes of Psalms have been compiled either by Ezra, or a disciple of Ezra. Thus, there are at least two Psalms that are what we might refer to as 'editorial' psalms (Psalm 1, and 119). It is interesting to consider that the poetry of Psalms is reflective of GOD'S 'language'. Poetry is by its very nature - thoughtful, careful, well-considered, and evocative. It is worth noting that whenever GOD spoke through the prophets they all communicated with poetry. Let this study of the Psalms enrich your worship of the One True GOD who loves you.
