768

Psalms divided into five "books" possibly corresponding to 5 books of Moses:

1--1-41
2--42-72
3--73-89
4--90-106
5--107-150

John Calvin has called Psalms "'An anatomy of all the parts of the soul'."

Holy Spirit has in Psalms, drawn to the life all the griefs, sorrows, fears, doubts, hopes, cares, perplexities, in short, all the distracting emotions with which the minds of men are wont to be agitated.

Honesty is not inconsistent with worship.

Psalm 120, Message, v. 2: Deliver me from lying and from the liars, God.

Sometimes the best motivation we'll ever have for going someplace new is distress over someplace old (15-18).
