The Voice of Psalms

The Voice of Psalms
ISBN:978-1-4185-4152-1
Thomas Nelson

The Voice of Psalms has a reading plan for those seeking the Eternal One with Praise and those seeking help from the True God. The Voice of Psalms uses the words the Eternal One instead of God which makes you aware that God is Our Eternal One, that we need to look to heaven in all things. The Voice of Psalms gives you the Song of David first and then you read the Psalm and then it gives you a commentary on the Psalm. I like this because it explains the Psalms even more for you to understand. The text from this book is from the Ecclesia Bible Society.The Voice of Psalms has reading plan for advent and for lent. The Psalms are very inspring book of the Bible. David had been through so much but he choose to go to the Eternal One for help. He knew he had to lean on God's help. This helps me with my faith and to know I also can lean on God for his help and he is there to listen.

I have been reading The Voice of Psalms to our children every morning. I have our son narrate back to me what we read. Here is what he said about one of the Psalms.( He understands that Satan is trying to trap us and there is no one else to help us but God, he is the only one that can save us,7years old). He understand The Voice of Psalms and is able to tell me what I have read. That says alot about the book itself.

We have an amazing God on our side.

Psalms 23

The Eternal One is my shepherd,He cares for me always.
He provides me rest in rich,green fields beside streams of refreshing water.
He soothes my fears:
He makes me whole again,steering me off worn,hard path to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name.
Even in the unending shadows of death's darkness, I am not overcome by fear.
Because You are with me in those dark moments,near with Your protection and guidance, Iam comforted.
You spread out a table before me,provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies:
You care for all my needs,anointing my head with smoothing,fragrant oil, filling my cup again and again with Your grace.
Certainly Your faithful protection and loving provision will pursue me where I go,always,everywhere.
I will always be with the Etenal One, in Your house forever.


The Eternal One refreshes us even when we are in the midst of trouble. Remember to stay focus on Who the Eternal One is and that cares and loves you.
