Praying the Psalms

The Book of Psalms has been called the "Prayer Book of the Old Testament”. There are 150 poems in the Psalter that have been used as prayers for over two thousands years by The Old and New Testament believers.

There are psalms of confession of sins, laments by the individual, laments for the nation, intercessions for help, praise and thanksgiving. You can read through a particular Psalm as a prayer or personalize.

Concordia Publishing House publishes a wonderful book by Martin Luther titled Reading the Psalms with Luther.

If you open your Bible, Psalms is right in the middle.
