Psalms: Anatomy of the Soul

Added: 2026-05-29

[00:00:00]I love Calvin's quote where he refers to the Psalms as a full anatomy of all parts of the soul. Right. That's it.

[00:00:05]>> Right. You just see it like whatever uh life situation you have, there's a Psalm that fits that. And that just kind of demonstrates I think the point you're driving at here that it's not only for um you know, times when you're in your palace and you can reflect on you know, good things, but these are you know, in the wilderness writing and expressing the the full range of human emotion to the Lord. This is the kind of thing you can sing you can sing while in Babylon.

[00:00:30]And you know, and Psalm 137 itself is an an example of that. You know, they didn't maybe want to sing the kinds of songs that their captors were demanding.

[00:00:37]Mhm. But they they wrote Psalm 137 instead. And here's here's a song that we can sing while in exile, right?
