A psalm, according to Merriam-Webster, is a sacred song or poem used in worship. Knowing that David was a musician in his younger years, it makes sense that he would have so many songs and poems that would be written down for generations in the Bible. Although he didn’t write every Psalm, I still think he enjoyed writing songs and poems and praising God. I enjoy reading through Psalm and besides Psalm 23 my favorite passage is Psalm 100 (even though it’s not clear who wrote this Psalm).
Psalm 100 ~ “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
Reading through the book of Psalm will give you encouragement and help you get through hardships. When I am going through a difficult time, I pick up my Bible and turn to read a Psalm.
Do you have a favorite Psalm?
