Favourite Psalms: Growing Closer to God

Whatever our spiritual mood may be, there is sure to be a psalm which reflects it—whether triumph or defeat, excitement or depression, joy or sorrow, praise or penitence, wonder or anger. Above all, the psalms declare the greatness of the living God as Creator, Sustainer, King, Lawgiver, Savior, Father, Shepherd, and Judge. As we come to know him better through the Psalter, we fall down and worship him. These Psalms are among John Stott’s favorites and he examples with thoughtful exposition why that is so.
