“To you, O LORD, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me…” (Psalm 28:1)

The Psalms are pledges of allegiance to God. They are declarations of our desire to be aligned with God and no one else. When the world says, “I reject God,” the psalms give us language to plant our flag in the ground and say, “I am his, and he is mine. I belong to the Lord.”

“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1)

The Psalms find no contradiction between confidence and crisis. We sometimes believe we can only have one or the other, either entirely trusting or entirely doubting. But in the Psalms, we find hints of lament even in praise and seeds of faith even in darkest days.

“Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity…” (Psalm 26:1)

The Psalms assume that we are praying to the God who already knows our prayers. He sees everything truly as it is, and because our vision is often flawed and distorted, we run to God for reality. He makes the final verdict. He is our standard of truth.

“To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul.” (Psalm 25:1)

The Psalms are teachers. They broaden our minds as we, the students, sit at our desks and study these carefully crafted prayers. The Psalms educate us with all the support, structure, and challenge that a good classroom demands. They invite us to learn how to talk with God.

Starting at Psalm 1 and ending at Psalm 150, Poor Bishop Hooper (the husband and wife duo of Jesse and Leah Roberts) released a simple, meditative song each week for nearly three years. In this interview, Mike talks to Jesse Roberts about his journey with the Psalms, the process of creating original music for the Psalms, and the impact of these prayers in their family and in their ministry.

“The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof…” (Psalm 24:1)

The Psalms are poems of ancient Israel, and they involve themes and categories that we in our modern time might not understand, concepts like the temple and purification. But this rich context of the past, Old Testament people of God is an invitation to know more about the God of the Bible who never changes.

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)

The Psalms are well-known and beloved by many people, and certain psalms have a resonance in our souls because we have heard them often and perhaps even memorized parts of them. And yet familiar psalms can become wondrously strange to us when we study them anew and come out the other side with a deeper appreciation and love.
