  2. Psalm 150

  3. The Psalms, as the Greek name Psalmoi suggests, is a “collection of poems sung to an musical accompaniment.”

  4. Psalm 100 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earthWorship the Lord with gladness; Come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are His; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.

  5. Psalm 122:1I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord.

  6. Psalm 46God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, and though the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.

  7. The Psalms were not only sung in the Temple during corporate worship, but they were the substance of personal devotion as well.

  8. Psalm 5:1-3
