Psalms
The God spoken of in Psalm 99 is the God of all; ruling over the universe, might in all His ways, and fiercely just. The God revealed to the Hebrew prophets and in the life of Jesus cares immensely for how those created in his image are treated.
The significance of Psalm 8 is that it is an invitation to look at creation and stand in awe of its Creator; the Creator of Heaven and Earth that is worthy of all praise!
At one point or another, we’ve all felt forsaken– the experience of loneliness, isolation, and distance from God. In Psalm 22, that forsaken feeling becomes a question and prayer, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
The story of David isn't one that celebrates only mountain tops; it's one that shows the struggles of life and God's faithfulness in the midst. Psalm 142, articulates these ups and downs and ultimately what it looks like to worship God through it all.
