How to Read the Psalms

Here's my advice on how to read the Psalms, the two questions we need to ask.

Here's a longer conversation introducing the book of Psalms:

And, here's Luther's introduction to the books of the Bible, including a brilliant introduction to Psalms:

Appreciated your video. My favorite psalm right now is psalm 37 and I'm feeding on the statement: delight in the lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. It struck me that delighting in the lord is and action of desire from my heart!

I love the idea of forming a picture in my mind while reading the Psalms. Thank you.

Psalm 22 is my favorite Psalm, because it's the song Our Lord sang from the Cross. It not only connects me to His anguish, that was caused by my own sin, but it reminds me that the Price has been paid...

Thank you, Bryan, the tips are indeed helpful. Psalms are indeed very helpful for quiet times especially when we can slow down and picture what the psalmists were trying to paint for us.

Thank you, I really enjoy your videos. Such a blessing!
Psalm 63

Thank you Pastor. God's peace be with you

[Jesusintheclarencecenter]

So many good psalms, but right now I’ll go with 27, 2, 110, and the book-ends (1 & 150)! Thanks!!

Psalm 103... as far as the east is from the west, so far has God removed my sins from me..
Very comforting ☺

Favorite Psalm: probably 119. But a close second 42 and 84.

I love this repeated line throughout Psalm 107, no matter what trouble is depicted that the people were in —“Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.”

Psalm 1 is my favorite Psalm (at the moment!).

[CloudslnMyCoffee]

Super helpful! The psalms can be daunting

[arkhamkillzone]

I have been struggling to read the psalms. I read half the bible already but seems difficult for me to find the interest to read the psalms. Not sure why this is and that's why I'm watching this video.

Psalm 22:9-11 is a fantastic example of the faith that we're given at Baptism, as an infant.

[Its_Time__Wake-Up]

Uploaded Psalms 140 & 141 just a day ago

[ProLifeBryce]

I love Psalm 51. I call it the Biblical "sinner's prayer." :-)

[katieskogen]

What is your favorite way to find the answer to that first question, "Who is talking to whom?".

[barbararupholdt]

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Psalm 98.

[GenevieveW]

Hard to pick one favorite. 143 is A favorite.

[tomepajmakoski]

I like psalm 8 from the Version that gas Yahwes name in it
