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 115
1Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled. 2I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.” 3What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me? 4I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord. 5I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people. 6Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones. 7O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds. 8I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord. 9I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people, 10in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
