Value 1 - answer✔✔Prayer is man's communion with God. Prayers in the Psalms take the form
of a complaint against the Lord.
People lament evil, petitions God to be true to promises: the individual or community laments
the adversity, describes the evil in God's world, or petitions God to be true to his promises. Faith
cries out for reality, and lament functions as an expression of authenticity
Discussion
Value 2 - answer✔✔Praise is man's longing for God and for others to be moved with the same
desire for God.
the acts of God in the past filled his children with longing for a renewal of his acts, thus
intertwining history and eschatology. Israel praised God's acts in the past: Creation, Exodus,
Conquest, life of David, victories, and restoration from the Exile.
Discussion
Value 3 - answer✔✔The Psalms have a distinct place in Christian liturgy.
The Psalter has been the Church's manual of Prayer and Praise— "No single Book of Scripture,
not even of the New Testament, has, perhaps, ever taken such hold on the heart of Christendom"
the Psalms have been lost in the worship of the modern Church
Discussion
Value 4 - answer✔✔The Psalms inspire the believer with the hope of the kingdom of God:
The Psalms guide the Christian into a clearer structuring of worship as the "praise" of the God—
who has acted in creation, revelation, and redemption, and who will act decisively in establishing
his kingdom on this earth.
Discussion
Value 5 - answer✔✔The Psalms reflect the faith experience of the "community" of God's people
before the coming of Christ.
Their expressions of frustration, impatience, anger, and joy reflect the tension between promise
and alienation—one of the issues in the lament psalms lies in their definition as petition or
complaint. They are both.
Discussion
Value 6 - answer✔✔God addresses both the individual and the community:
At times it may seem that the Psalms should be limited to Israel in her national existence
(community laments) or to the king (royal prayers) and that we may use the Psalms very
selectively.
Discussion
Value 7 - answer✔✔The value of the Psalms lies in their connection between the OT and the
NT.
Psalms belongs to the OT but longs for the day of redemption in the NT—as the psalmists stand
among the people of God who served him at the temple and knew only of the kingdom of David
and his heirs.
The Poetical - answer✔✔relates to Israel's spiritual life.
I. The Patriarchal period - answer✔✔Job (c. 2000 B.C.)
II. The Davidic period - answer✔✔Psalms (c. 1000 B.C.)
III. The Solomonic period - answer✔✔A) Song of Solomon—a young man's love
B) Proverbs—a middle-aged man's wisdom
C) Ecclesiastes—an old man's sorrow (c. 950 B.C.)
Summary - answer✔✔Poetry reveal the aspiration for Christ in the hearts of the people.
