Study Notes

The book of Psalms expresses the full range of human emotions, from heart wrenching despair to triumphant praise. A relationship with the LORD of the universe does not preclude experiences of anger, guilt, frustration or soul searching questions, even as the believer offers up profound expressions of faith and praise. Central to all the psalms is the living God, who is the refuge of all who trust in Him.
