In book one of Psalms,

the writers praise God for his justice,

express confidence in God's compassion,

recount the depravity of humanity,

plead for vindication,

ask God to deliver them from their enemies,

speak of the blessedness of the forgiven sinner and portray God as a shepherd.

We should worship God with the same sense of adoration found in these psalms.
