Sunday Psalm-ing
Today
you are invited to live into the Scriptures by writing your own Psalm
as part of your Sunday worship. If guidance would help you, take note
that Psalms come in about fifteen different types (for a very helpful
chart, see the link below). Here are five types with some examples of
each. If the Psalm which you compose today fits one of these five types, read 3-4 examples before you write your own.
Types and examples
Psalms of trust: 20, 23, 27, 46, 91, 121, 125
Psalms of repentance: 6, 32, 51, 102, 130
Psalms of praise and thanksgiving: 8, 100, 103, 104, 145-150
Psalms of quiet pondering and reflection: 1, 11, 131, 139
Psalms of lament and struggle: 5, 10, 13, 42-43, 61, 64, 88
