Hey, you're listening to A Year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

It is Shelby and Paul here walking through the Psalms.

Paul, so we record these episodes fairly early.

And I was looking at the episode that released today, which is in the book of Joshua.

And someone commented on our YouTube channel

that we brought out a point that they had never noticed before,

and it just helped them understand the depth

of the chapters that we were walking through in a new way.

And I thought that was so cool.

That is something we really aim to do

is to help bring a depth of understanding to scripture. And ultimately, we hope that

that points to the beauty of Jesus through this. And so if you're learning something, we'd love for you

to leave a review, leave a comment, let us know. We love to interact with you in that way. But today,

we are in Psalms 11 through 15.

So let's jump in.

What's going on in these psalms that we're going to cover today?

Yeah.

So today's Psalms are basically focusing on some very specific particular difficulties of life.

So Psalm 11, we hear David's confidence in God despite the unrighteousness of the wicked.

Psalms 12 and 14 are communal laments, and laments basically that are meant to be sung by groups that focus on the speech and behavior of the wicked in contrast to God.

Psalm 13 is an individual lament, similar to Psalm 6 that we looked at yesterday,

where the singers just completely spent asking God for aid.
