Psalms and Psalmody

“The psalms have been the prayer book for the people of God for thousands of years. The psalms help us to pray about wide-ranging concerns: matters of social justice and personal piety, national crises and congregational praise, world missions and quiet meditation.

When we pray about these things that matter to God and have mattered to God’s people across generations and around the world, we experience a connection that develops our relationship with and trust in God as well as a connection to God’s people of all times and places.”
