The Psalms come from a different time and culture. Because they were originally written as poetry, the language and literary style of the Psalms often make them a little more difficult to understand.

In this study, Phillip Eichman explores several examples from the book of Psalms, some of them well-known and others less familiar so that readers will be able to “connect” with them by looking at some of the historical background and the style of writing. As you work through the study, you’ll look for ways to apply the Psalms to your life today.
