This do-it-yourself Bible study provides a complete overview of the longest book of the Bible. Author Irving Jensen offers insight into the Psalms as you study the names and nature of God and the character of David—both the humble shepherd boy and the king of Israel. Beginning with the first chapter, you’ll analyze each Psalm to discover how the Word of God applies to our contemporary world.
