Read the chapter

1For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth! ✦ 2Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise! ✦ 3Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you. ✦ 4All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah. ✦ 5Come, and see God’s deeds — awesome work on behalf of the children of men. ✦ 6He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him. ✦ 7He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. Selah. ✦ 8Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard, ✦ 9who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved. ✦ 10For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined. ✦ 11You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs. ✦ 12You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance. ✦ 13I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you, ✦ 14which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress. ✦ 15I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. Selah. ✦ 16Come, and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul. ✦ 17I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue. ✦ 18If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened. ✦ 19But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer. ✦ 20Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
