Bible Study Highlights: Psalms
For the ancient Hebrew people, the Psalms were songs of worship that captured their reality and guided them to turn their will and their longings toward God. These lyrics were first written in response to events in the lives of the authors, and then later the whole community used them in worship. After the return from exile in Babylon, many of these songs from over the centuries were collected into the book of Psalms. Individuals and communities can pray or sing the Psalms as honest spiritual expressions or as commitments of faithfulness, and at the same time, the book as a whole tells the story of Israel's redemption – monarchy, exile, and return.
