Book excerpt: When Jesus was dying on the cross for our sins, three of the seven statements he made at this critical moment of his life were from a single Old Testament book, the Book of Psalms. First, he cried out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" which was a quotation from Psalm 22:1. Later, he said, "I thirst," a quotation from Psalm 69:21. Finally, he prayed, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit," words drawn from Psalm 31:5. At the key moment in his life, our Savior drew his strength from Book of Psalms. Jesus made four other statements while he hung on the cross-"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do"; "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise"; "Woman, behold thy son!" and "It is finished"-but the only Scripture he quoted while on the cross came from the Book of Psalms. In his hour of deepest need, he found his help in the psalms.This book is written to teach you to do the same!Understanding the PsalmsWhat is a Psalm?A Biblical psalm is a Spirit-inspired prayer, originally voiced in song, addressing the need of a human heart-a need for mercy and forgiveness, a need for miraculous help (for healing or deliverance or protection, for example), the need to praise and worship the Creator, the need for guidance or comfort or justice or strength, or even the need to complain and question. The psalms address these and every other human need under the sun. The exciting thing is this: Because the psalms are Spirit-anointed prayers, they have the ability to tap into the presence and power of Heaven on behalf of everyone who reads and prays them, including you and me! That is why the Lord included them in his written Word, to make them available to his people down through the ages so that he could do miracles in their lives.
