If the psalm prays, you pray; if it laments, you lament; if it exults, you rejoice; if it hopes, you hope; if it fears, you fear. Everything written here is a mirror for us." - that's the famous quote from Augustine about the psalms and how they connect with human emotion. and that's the key. they connect with human emotion. They are like a therapy, a tunnel of transformation. Take one and go through it and you find it has gone through you; it slips into the heart with a ring of psychological truth. amazing since they are addressed to the Divine Being, the loving God, and some of them written one thousand years before Christ.
