“(Excerpt from Psalm 20 reflection)A BlessingMay the Lord make himself real when you need Him mostMay the power of his name protect youMay he send help from his legions on earthAnd in the heavensMay he remember all your giftsAnd reward your offeringsMay he make your wildest dreams come true,Your plans successfulMay we shout with joy over your accomplishments,Singing praises to our GodMay God answer all your prayers”

Carol Shelton Moye, Psalms in the Key of My life“To recognize that the Psalms call us to pray and sing at the intersections of the times--of our time and God's time, of the then, and the now, and the not yet--is to understand how those emotions are to be held within the rhythm of a life lived in God's presence.”
N.T. Wright, The Case for the Psalms: Why They Are Essential“According to Benedict's scheme, the community reads through... the entire book of Psalms every week. The monks are therefore exposed... to all the despairing, doubtful, bitter, vindictive, jingoistic, nationalistic, and seemingly racist passages in the Psalter. It is not that every sentiment expressed by a psalmist is admirable, but that in praying the Psalms, we confront ourselves as we really are. The Psalms are a reality check to keep prayer from becoming sentimental, superficial, or detached from the real world.”
Richard H. Schmidt, Glorious Companions: Five Centuries of Anglican Spirituality“Where can we find a worshiper who envy a sparrow or a swallow just because of their uninterrupted access to God's altar (Psalm 84:3). Our Genuineness in worship is not revealed by our physical presence in the church but by our desire of being in His Presence always and behold Him (Psalm 84:10).”
Santosh Thankachan“As a kid, I was taught that if you opened the Bible in the middle you'd probably land on the book of Psalms. And near the middle is everyone's favorite, the 23rd, there is this line: "You prepare a table before in the presence of my enemies." I don't know how many times I've read or recited this Psalm without pondering what that line actually means, but here is my take on it. When things are a bit tense, when life is not going at its best, when the potential for disaster is just around the corner, when your enemies are all around you - and even staring you down! - that's when God lays out the red-checkered picnic cloth and says, "Oooo, this is a nice place. Let's hang out here together for a while...just you and me.”
David Brazzeal, Pray Like a Gourmet: Creative Ways to Feed Your Soul“As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness. -Psalm 17:15”
God, New King James Version“When it comes to salvation, we are all fugitives. Psalm 119:176”
Felix Wantang, God's Blueprint of the Holy Bible“If you need a guide for your ongoing relationship with God, read Psalms.”
Jim George“All my days were written in Your book and planned before a single one of them began.Psalm 139:16”
