The Woven Psalms

Psalm 49: The Song of the Riddle

“[1] Hear this, all peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world…” (Psalm 49:1) The Psalms are teachers pointing us toward the way of wisdom. The psalmists intend for you to learn not simply about God and spiritual things but also about humanity and some of the biggest questions concerning the human condition. We get to sit at their feet and study their words, listening and learning how to be counted among the wise.  The Woven Psalms is a reflective, unhurried, and practical podcast about praying every psalm in the Bible.

Psalm 48: The Song of the City of God

“Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God!!” (Psalm 48:1) The Psalms are both local and global. They place us in a place, because they were written in a certain time and in a certain region of the world. We’re invited to see ourselves in the specific context of ancient Israel and then to broaden the scope of our imagination to every time, tongue, people, and nation.

Psalm 47: The Song of the Royal Ascension

“Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!” (Psalm 47:1) The Psalms are physical. They encourage us to move our bodies and not just our minds or our mouths. After all, God is the creator of all things, body and soul, and so it is fitting to clap, sing, hum, whistle, dance, and laugh over the good grace of God.

Psalm 46: The Song of the City of Refuge

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1) The Psalms are tremendously cosmic in scope. Sometimes the Psalms are like an intense private conversation between the psalmist and God, but at other times they are like a panoramic painting of God’s sovereign rule over the universe. In truth, we need both perspectives to see God’s immanence and transcendence, his intimate care and his universal power.

Psalm 45: The Song of the Royal Wedding

“My heart overflows with a pleasing theme…” (Psalm 45:1) The Psalms were sometimes composed for special occasions. There are many that were written by poets praying alone in their rooms, but there are also psalms for weddings, for funerals, for coronations, for victories, for all the situations in life when it is best to sing.
