Studing through the Psalms is a time of praise to our God. I am going to start a little distant from the start of the journey, but this is going to be the introduction to the book of psalms here. The book of Psalms is a study in praise to God for several reason, among them is that this is the main subject of the book. If one can call each Psalm a chapter it becomes the largest book in the Bible. Psalms also includes the longest chapter in Psalm 119.
Psa 139:13-18
13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Psa 72:20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
