The Psalms in the New Testament

Midweek supplement to Psalms Group, April 22, 2020

1. God’s Word to His People:

The Book of Psalms is first and foremost God’s Word to his people. We hear the voice of God in each psalm, through the many moods of the Psalms, and the through the varied themes of the Psalms. The purpose of the Psalms is the same as that of any part of Scripture: the Psalms are “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the person of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
