“How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?” (Psalm 13:1)

The Psalms ask God questions – hard questions, big questions, questions that we might think God would be offended to hear. The psalmists are unafraid to be utterly, brutally honest with God because he welcomes us and hears us. Ironically, expressing this kind of raw emotion to God leads us to greater trust and safety in his steadfast love.

“Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone…” (Psalm 12:1)

The Psalms are words. They are the words of the psalmists, and they are the words of God, inspired and inerrant. And sometimes these psalms speak about words themselves, teaching us how to respond to and rely on God’s Word in our daily lives.

“In the LORD I take refuge…” (Psalm 11:1)

The Psalms bring us into the middle of the situations that the psalmists are experiencing. The action is happening, the conversation is already taking place, and we’re pulled into it because this is how real life works. We need God’s help in the midst of the mess.

“Why, O LORD, do you stand far away?” (Psalm 10:1)

The Psalms offer us an analysis of evil. When the psalmists cry out to God for justice and refuge from suffering, they often describe those who are causing them this misery. Therefore, the Psalms serve as a warning for us. If we see ourselves in these descriptions of wickedness, it will hopefully lead us to repent and cry out to God ourselves for mercy.

“I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart…” (Psalm 9:1)

The Psalms are often written from the perspective of the sufferers and the oppressed. We are given an opportunity to hear the cries of the victims, and when we ourselves are victims to injustice and evil, we can find comfort in these ancient prayers that give voice to our pain.

“O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” (Psalm 8:1)

The Psalms are about God; they are prayers and songs meant to guide our hearts in worship to the Creator and Savior. Yet the Psalms are also about us; they explore the human experience, they demonstrate the depth and breadth of human emotion, they show us the role of human beings. The Psalms ask, “Who are we? What is our place in the world? How should we live?” It is good to read the Psalms in order to ponder the greatness of God, and it is also good to read the Psalms in order to ponder ourselves in a relationship with God.

“O LORD my God, in you do I take refuge…” (Psalm 7:1)

The Psalms have a balanced perspective on justice. The Bible doesn’t often allow us to see people as entirely innocent or entirely guilty, because even the most innocent victim can do wrong in the way they call for justice and even the most guilty criminal can change their ways and be reformed. There is right and wrong, but the one true standard is the holy Judge who teaches us to see nuances in how we pursue justice and mercy.

“O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath.” (Psalm 6:1)

The Psalms are much more honest with emotions than we are. We often hide how we feel not only from others but also from ourselves or from God. We might feel pressure to say that we’re fine even when our lives are crumbling. But the Psalms can open a pressure release valve that allows us to be vulnerable in the safety of God’s love.

“Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.” (Psalm 5:1)

The Psalms invite us to meditate not only on what we are experiencing and how we are feeling but also on the character of God. They honor the troubles and distress that we’re in, but then they lift our eyes out of our circumstances so that we can see how God fits in with everything around us. It’s a reorientation, a new perspective, a breath of fresh air.

“Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness!” (Psalm 4:1)

The Psalms are literary masterpieces, some of the greatest poems and songs ever written, and like all great works of art, they surprise you and take you down paths you didn’t expect. They force you to think, to ask, “Why did the author say this and not that?” They are meditation literature, intentionally written for us to read and reread over a lifetime.
