Psalms
The book of Psalms contains some of the greatest words ever written, sung, and prayed. The psalms are often lyrics of songs for worship. When you read the Psalms, try to imagine the movement of the people at worship in the Temple. Also, remember that the Psalms are poetry. Therefore, they are more to be proclaimed than explained.
In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
PSALMS 120:1
Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.
PSALMS 120:2
What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
PSALMS 120:3
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
PSALMS 120:4
Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
PSALMS 120:5
My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.
PSALMS 120:6
I am for peace but when I speak, they are for war.
PSALMS 120:7
