Throughout the ages, Psalms has retained its original and primary purpose: to engender the fitting praise and worship of God. The essential idea of Psalms is living real life in the real world. Without denying the pain of life, the people of God are to live joyfully and dependently on the person and promises of God.

In the twelve studies within, join John MacArthur to see the Psalms as a broad array of theology, practically couched in day-to-day reality. The sinfulness of man is documented concretely but also the sovereignty of God is everywhere recognizable. By working through this study, you, like the people of Israel, will learn that though life often seems to be out of control, all events and situations are to be understood in the light of divine providence as being right on course according to God's timetable.
