A 150-Day Journey through the Psalms

Daily Devotions from God’s Ancient Songbook

The Book of Psalms has been the prayer book of God's people for three millennia. Kings have sung these words on thrones. Prophets have prayed them in dungeons. Pilgrims have recited them on dusty roads to Jerusalem. Jesus quoted them from the cross. The early church chanted them in catacombs. Reformers found courage in them during persecution. These 150 ancient songs have shaped more hearts, sustained more faith, and given voice to more prayers than perhaps any other book in Scripture.

Yet for many modern readers, the Psalms remain unexplored territory. We know Psalm 23 and maybe Psalm 119's famous verse about God's Word being a lamp to our feet. But the full richness of the Psalter—its raw laments, fierce imprecations, exuberant celebrations, and honest wrestlings with God—often stays locked away, intimidating in its scope and unfamiliar in its language.

This devotional guide invites you into that ancient songbook, one psalm at a time. Over 150 days, you'll journey through the entire Psalter, discovering how these timeless prayers and praises speak directly into your contemporary life. You'll meet David hiding in caves, Asaph wrestling with injustice, the sons of Korah longing for God's presence, and anonymous worshipers celebrating God's faithfulness. Their circumstances differ from yours, but their emotions, questions, and faith will feel remarkably familiar.
