What are your favorite Psalms?
From David Taylor, ย Bono & Eugene Peterson on THE PSALMS โ Fuller Studio:
Reading tips for the Psalms:
- Pay attention to the whole of a psalm, not just to the parts of a psalm.
- Read the psalms consistently, rather than occasionally and sporadically.
- Pay attention to the internal coherence of a psalm or a section of psalms, rather than allowing them to remain fragmented parts, reflective of our immediate and self-absorbed interest.
