Penitential Psalms: 6, 32, 38, 51, 130, 143

Imprecatory/Judgment Psalms: 5, 52, 54, 56, 57, 59, 88, 137, 139, 140

In this week’s episode, we’re talking through the specialized lament psalms, which include penitential psalms, or psalms that express the writer’s remorse or guilt over sin, as well as several psalms of judgment, which show us God’s heart for justice. These are weighty psalms, but you’ll see that even here—in the midst of the shame and guilt and fear—there is hope to be found. These psalms show us the gracious heart of God, who calls out to us in our wretchedness and offers us redemption and relationship.
