Psalms 23, 42, 51, 137

Psalms is different from the other books in the Bible in the sense that it is not a story but a series of songs written by David. Most are no more that ten lines but they are many. Psalms 23 is a comparison to a man's relationship with God to one of a sheep with it's shepherd. The sheep follows and obeys the shepherd who takes care of them. This chapter actually brought me back memories of the Christian school I went to where you had to memorize verses and this was one of the ones that stood out to me. Especially the part of "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."(Psalms 23:4) It just made me feel really warm inside. I used to think that God was more like a father but when I thought about it, the shepherd example is better.

Psalms 42 is more of asking God questions of how to worship him and says that even though He might not seem to be present when bad thing are happening, you shall always worship him because he is the reason you are still alive. It is better to praise than to question.

Psalms 51 is a song about repentance and asking for forgiveness from God. It shows how we live in sin but with the help of God we can drift away from it.

The last one, Psalms 137, I praising God for the richness of the land and that everyone involved with it must be thankfull. Kind of cocky but I liked it.
