The book of Psalms is rightly regarded as an ancient hymnal and collection of prayers. The psalms give voice to our hearts and unbridled emotions. They teach us not only how to pray, give thanks, and worship, but also how to lament, mourn, and even express our depression and other mental health struggles to God. Yet the book of Psalms is even more! As an integrated whole, the book of Psalms tells the grand story of the Bible.
