“The psalms lead us to do what the psalmists do—to commit ourselves to God through pledges and promises, to depend on God through petition and expressions of acceptance, to seek comfort in God through lament and complaint, to find mercy from God through confession and repentance, to gain new wisdom and perspective from God through meditation, remembrance, and reflection.”
― Timothy Keller, The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms

“The psalms also help us see God—God not as we wish or hope him to be but as he actually reveals himself. The descriptions of God in the Psalter are rich beyond human invention. He is more holy, more wise, more fearsome, more tender and loving than we would ever imagine him to be. The psalms fire our imaginations into new realms yet guide them toward the God who actually exists. This brings a reality to our prayer lives that nothing else can.”
― Timothy Keller, The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms

“So to know how to meditate on and delight in the Bible is the secret to a relationship with God and to life itself.”
