Summer in the Psalms

Thousands of years ago, an Israelite named David poured out his heart to God in song. He wasn't embarrassed to lay his deepest thoughts and rawest emotions before God — sadness, anger, lament, fear, and joy. The Psalms sing hymns of praise, reflecting on God's goodness in the land of the living; they also cry out to God from the valley, lamenting in the midst of overwhelming doubt, loss, and death. That's why Christians have never stopped meditating on these words. Because in the Psalms, we see a reflection of the delights and longings we feel in our own hearts.
