“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)

The Psalms are well-known and beloved by many people, and certain psalms have a resonance in our souls because we have heard them often and perhaps even memorized parts of them. And yet familiar psalms can become wondrously strange to us when we study them anew and come out the other side with a deeper appreciation and love.

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1)

The Psalms are inherently communal, which is sometimes surprising given that some psalmists describe their intense loneliness. The Psalms give words to our isolation, but we must not forget that these are also corporate songs for the community of God’s people. It’s one thing to sing a lament alone; it’s another thing to sing a lament with others, weeping with those who weep.

“O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices…” (Psalm 21:1)

The Psalms often assume the reality of war. In a fallen world filled with evil and injustice, the psalms frequently describe the presence of war and even rejoice when, through military victories, the God of love and power delivers his people by punishing the wicked. There’s never a glorification of war in these songs; the glory is reserved for the victory of God’s justice putting an end to harmful wrongs.
