Studies in the Psalms
Psalms 52-59 - These Psalms provide the individual and the community with the vocabulary to express ourselves to God as we navigate seasons of darkness. We might see them as cries of the hurting heart and the summoning of the will to trust, rather than the overflow of a happy or full heart. Sometimes we have to be honest with God in our struggle and summon our souls to praise and trust, even when we feel like everything is against us.
