Psalms

• A third of the book of Psalms is devoted to bringing complaints to God.
• But the form of these complaints is very specific.
• By giving us so many pslams in this form, God is telling us that he wants to hear the honest cries of our heart,
• but also teaching us how he wants us to bring these complaints to him.

This is David’s best loved Psalm, but how did he come to write it? We piece together stories from throughout his life that could have provided inspiration for each part of the song.
