One of my ongoing projects, as a form of spiritual discipline, is to try and cover every Psalm in an ‘A Psalm a Day’ format. I recently finished ‘Book 1’ of the Psalter, Psalms 1 through 41. I’ve collected links to them all here. I’ve tried to summarise them here in a sentence – click on the link to dig deeper – which echoes the theological nature of my reflections, by and large, I’ve been trying to see what they say about God.
Psalm 2 – God is the true power
Psalm 5 – God is in the small, and God has a plan
Psalm 6 – God listens to our cry
Psalm 7 – God is the Lord Most High
Psalm 9 – God the Comforting King
Psalm 11 – The Lord who’s face we can see
Psalm 12 – the faithfully speaking God
Psalm 13 – God’s unfailing love in lament
Psalm 15 – The Lord who Dwells
Psalm 17 – imaging the righteous God
Psalm 19 – obedience to the Creator
Psalm 20 – trust and intercession
Psalm 21 – The Lord the Victor
Psalm 22 – God has Not Forsaken
Psalm 23 – The Lord my Shepherd
Psalm 24 – God of Jacob, God of All
Psalm 25 – God: majestic and immediate
Psalm 26 – praising the goodness of God
Psalm 28 – Pleading to the Reliable God
Psalm 30 – Exalting God in Real Life

Psalm 34 – God is a hearing God
Psalm 35 – beseeching the Victorious God
Psalm 36 – a powerful, good God
