The psalms cultivate a life of prayer grounded in Scripture.


In Reading the Psalms as Scripture, James M. Hamilton Jr. and Matthew Damico guide the reader to delight in the spiritual artistry of the psalms. Psalms is a carefully arranged book saturated in Scripture. The psalmists drew from imagery and themes from earlier Scripture, which are then developed by later Scripture and fulfilled in Christ. The book of psalms advances God's grand story of redemption, and it gives us words to pray by drawing us into this story. When we meditate on the promises and patterns in the psalms, we can read, pray, and sing them with faithfulness.

“In Reading the Psalms as Scripture, Hamilton and Damico want you to see the theological profundity of the Psalter, its literary artistry, its connections with earlier and later Scripture, and the messianic hope that points to a new and greater David. This concise volume will enrich your understanding and appreciation of the Psalter because it treats the psalms as Christian literature and Holy Scripture. From superscriptions to textual seams to literary outlines, the Psalter has clues all over the place that we need to follow. Hamilton and Damico are faithful guides to lead the way.”
