Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.

Psalms 114
1Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer. 2For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him. 3The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. 4And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul. 5Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate. 6The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me. 7Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you. 8For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping. 9I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
