  • Psalms. The Psalms are revelation - God speaks to us through them about Himself and His plans for us. The Psalms are poetry - moving because poetry sneaks around our reluctance to feel strong emotions. The Psalms are honest - not always nice or happy, but they tell the truth about doubt during painful times.
