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 61
1To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear, OGod, my cry; attend unto my prayer. 2From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me. 3For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy. 4I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah. 5For thou, OGod, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name. 6Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations. 7He shall abide beforeGod for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him. 8So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.
