According to my commentary:
1. The Psalter is a living testimony to Israel's faith. They echo the aspirations and hopes of men and women in every era of Israel's history.
2. The Psalms form an important background for Jesus' ministry. He learned them in his Jewish home. They are quoted more frequently in the NT than any other book of the OT.
3. The Psalms have proved to be an indispensable source of devotional material to Christians around the world.
4. The Psalter has become the hymnbook of the ages. No other book of hymns has been used so long by so many people. It is read, chanted, or sung every day of year. In the age of informality they provide an indispensable language for worship.
What verses jumped out to you in the first book of Psalms that we have just read.
