+ Introduction A Call to Praise The Significance of the Psalms in the Bible How the Psalms Originated The Collection of the Psalms Superscriptions and Notations The Poetic Form of the Psalms Types and Genres of Psalms

+ A Call to Praise Psalm 103:1-2—“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” Who made this call? What world did he live in? “bless” and “forget not” Praise Him so you don’t forget what He’s done and tell others what He’s done so they won’t forget.

+ Psalm 103:11-14—” For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.” The immenseness of God versus the smallness of humans

+ The Significance of the Psalms in the Bible Psalms: human responses to God’s word and actions Passing through the Red Sea (Exodus 15) Barren woman celebrates the birth of a son (1 Samuel 2) Entire book of Psalms Mary (Luke 1) The Christ-hymn (Colossians 1) The throne of heaven (Revelation 5)

+ The Significance of the Psalms in the Bible Praise and lament Sometimes we praise God for his actions Sometimes we lament God for his actions Connection between singing and praying Psalms are sung prayers or prayed singing Significance for people throughout the ages
