Join best-selling author Wayne Davies as he takes you through A Bible Study on Psalms 1-41. Containing one chapter for each Psalm, this book provides insights the author has gleaned by studying these hymns for the past 18 years. Ideal for both individual and small group study, each chapter also contains “Questions for Further Study, Reflection, and Discussion” that will guide you into a better comprehension of the Psalms by prompting you to interact with the text and apply it to your own life.

Why study the Psalms? Because Paul told the Colossian believers to “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts” (Colossians 3:16).

God wants us to instruct each other “through psalms” because the Psalms are the Word the God, and we know that “all Scripture (including the Psalms) is God-breathed and profitable for teaching” (2 Timothy 3:16).

The Psalms teach us many great truths about God – who He is, what He has done, and what He promises to continue doing for His people. The Psalms also teach us much about ourselves – our sinful ways and our desperate need for God and His salvation. The Psalms teach us how to worship God through praise and thanksgiving, exaltation and adoration. And the Psalms teach us how to confess our transgressions and cry out to God for His forgiveness with a heart of contrition and repentance.

Yes, the Psalms teach us how to pray. And because David wrote at least 75 of the 150 psalms, by immersing ourselves in these hymns, we learn How to Pray Like David.

Do you have a desire to know Jesus more intimately and delight in His presence more consistently? By spending time in the Psalms, this is what the Father wants you to experience. This book will help you to live a life of gratitude as you “sing the Lord’s praise, for He has been good to me” (Psalm 13:6).
