How to Benefit from the Psalms

​WE ARE COMMANDED AS CHRISTIANS TO USE THE PSALMS IN OUR SINGING AND TEACHING.

1. “speaking to one another in PSALMS and hymns and spiritual songs…” – Eph 5:19

2. “…teaching and admonishing one another in PSALMS and hymns and spiritual songs” – Cor 3:16

3. “Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing PSALMS.” – James 5:13

THE PSALMS ARE THEREFORE CAPABLE OF BEING THE CHRISTIAN’S…

1. “hymnal”

2. “prayer book”

3. “book of Christian evidences”

4. “training guide for living justly and righteously before God”
