Psalms of Joy and Praise
“In the following group of Psalms there is unbounded praise for the Lord of creation and the many wonders he has performed. There is profound gratitude for man’s own elevated glory and for the many blessings bestowed upon him. There is exaltation of the King who rules over nations and throughout all of nature. But most importantly, there is thanksgiving for the personal concern this loving God has for each individual and his special needs.”
