Psalm 23
Psalm 46
Psalm 61
Psalm 62
Psalm 71

For the next six days we will be reading a variety of Psalms. Psalms was a collection of poems and songs that the Israelites sung and heard being played in the Temple and synagogues. They used their harps, lyres, drums, and tamborines. But, the most important part of this was that the community of God's people got together to sing them, to chant them, to repeat them after the leader. They talk about real struggles, real feelings, and a real God that saves those that worship Him and walk in His ways.

Most of these were written by David, whose life we just got through reading about. You'll have to shift gears and start to ask questions like "what kind of situation has David been in that would make him write this?" or "What does this Psalm tell me about God?"
