Psalms week 1 — The Blessed Way and the Anointed King
Send us Fan Mail
Psalms begins by showing two foundations for the life of faith: the blessed way of Torah-shaped wisdom and the hope of God’s Anointed King.
Episode Description:
Psalms does not begin with private emotion, but with a choice: the way of the righteous or the way of the wicked.
In Psalms 1–2, Israel is taught how to walk, pray, worship, and hope after the wounded kingdom of Samuel. Psalm 1 shows the blessed person rooted in the instruction of the LORD. Psalm 2 lifts our eyes to the nations, the kings of the earth, and the LORD’s Anointed.
Together, these opening psalms prepare us to read the whole Psalter as wisdom, worship, covenant hope, and longing for the faithful King.
