The Psalms: What They're For


One of my favorite places in the Bible is the Psalms. When I can’t quite seem to put into words my thoughts and feelings, even in my prayers, a well-chosen psalm says just what I want to say, in so much better words.


Over the years, I’ve somewhat randomly condensed some of the psalms into a phrase, according to how it touched me in the moment. Here are a few, in order by chapter.


1. The story of the righteous

8. For a heart of praise to the Creator

15. Instructions for a good life

16. Why following God is worth it

42. For a thirsty soul

46. For one who needs a refuge

51. For a repentant heart

61. The poet’s prayer

63. For a trusting heart

71. For a restful heart in tumultuous times

84. For the homesick pilgrim

90. A contemplation on life

92. A song for the Sabbath day

98. The singer’s psalm

100. The psalm of thanksgiving

102. When everything is bad

103. When you don’t know what to be thankful for

107. For a discouraged heart

119. For love of the law

121. A song of hope

128. A family blessing

143. When you’re waiting on God for answers


May you learn how to praise God in every moment…
