Although typically thought of as hymns of praise to God, the psalms are so much more. They are
invoked to comfort and instruct; to lament and inspire; to bless, and yes, even to curse. The psalms
praise, plead, instruct, reflect, recount, and chastise. In tone, they span the gamut of human emotions

own special relationship with God.
