The beauty of studying Psalms – Psalms are unique
Poetry
Hymns
Their background is not usually found in the Psalm or context
Revealing the psalmists relationship with the LORD
They are personal, reflective, soul-searching, soul-exposing, honest
There are five books of Psalms
Psa 1-41, 42-72, 73-89, 90-106, 107-150
Psalms are written from several perspectives – sometimes within the same Psalm
The psalmist speaking to God, himself, others
Recording what the enemy is saying
Recording what the Lord is saying
Study Psalms
Take, 2, 3, 6 months or a year and study the Psalms
When you are in a trial, go back to the Psalms
Study one book of Psalms at a time
Look for the background of each Psalm
“My Fortress” Psalms – I trust in the Lord who is my protection and deliverer
(Psa 18, 31, 71, 91, 144)
“My Rock” Psalms – I trust in the Lord who is my stabilizing strength
(Psa 18, 28, 31, 42, 62, 71, 78, 89, 92, 94)
