What is important about the book of Psalms? The psalms point to Jesus, were sung by Jesus, and help us connect to Jesus. Why should we pay attention to the psalms? They are a powerful devotional and prayer tool, they validate our human experience, and they connect our present to our past. Ps.122|Col.3.16|Ps.109.22-Ps.109.23|Ps.56.8|Ps.38.5-Ps.38.8
