The Bay Psalm Book
Most Christians like to read a division from Psalm in the morning or right before they go to bed, some verses are simple and comforting, while others are a little harsh. The Book of Psalms has 150 divisions and it is the longest book in the Bible. It is also one of the most diverse; it talks about God and His creation, war, worship, wisdom, sin, evil, judgment, justice, and the coming of the Messiah. In my church the Pastor recommends new comers that don’t know how to pray, to read the book of Psalms, it teaches how to worship and praise God. “The singing of Psalms, through it breathe forth nothing but holy harmony, and melody: yet such is the subtlety of the enemy, and the enmity of our nature against the Lord…” The Psalms is like a songbook, after prayer at the beginning of a service a book from Psalms is read to usher out the evil and usher in the praises and allow the congregation to begin worship and praise service, which is just singing, reverence, and testimony unto the glory of God.

I think that it is wonderful that your preist encourages the new comers in your church to read the Psalms. I am not a church-goer so much myself anymore, but even when I attended church, I didn't even pay much attention when the priest did a lecture on the psalms. It's great that you have such faith in your religion. I respect that very much. Especially after reading a few selected Psalms from HEATH, your description is very much accurate when describing all of them.
