The psalms help us when we cannot find words to capture feelings of loss or abandonment or frustration or betrayal or delight or joy or faith. Or when we are afraid to talk about those feelings to God for fear God will be mad at us. Written across centuries, spoken around campfires and in a palace before being recorded, these words capture the feelings of people who think that God cares about them, but aren’t exactly sure.
