On 13th January 2012 I wrote in my journal, “I wondered about studying Psalms for a while and even preaching on some of them.” I had previously been studying the life of David and had preached quite a few sermons on him. Studying the Psalms seemed the obvious thing to do after this. So, I began and “for a while” has so far been over 3 years and still wondering if I have even scratched the surface of this amazing book. What follows are some of the things I have discovered and been blessed with over these 3 + years.
Below is the list of books/articles/websites I have quoted from.
