The Psalms thus transform what I have called our “worldview.” I use this term in a specific way that I have developed over the last twenty years. A “worldview” in this sense is like a pair of spectacles: it is what you look through, not what you look at. Worldviews, in this sense, are complex and consist of the swirling combination of stories, symbols, habitual praxis, and assumed answers to key questions (Who are we? Where are we? What’s wrong? What’s the solution? and What time is it?).
