It is important to read the Psalms regularly.  They offer comfort and encouragement in times of sorrow and temptation.

We are currently going through our second reading of the Psalms one at a time each week in our Sunday morning service.  As we read the Psalm I try to explain the background and setting and give a brief outline.  We do not take time each Sunday to study the psalm in detail, but it is helpful to know something about the psalm before reading it: who wrote it, why did they write it, what were the circumstances surrounding the writing of the Psalm, what are the meanings of some of the unfamiliar words found in the titles?

 

I have grouped this information together by the Books of the Psalms.  If you are looking for information on a particular psalm, you will need to look for it in its appropriate book.
