The Psalms, which were written more than two thousand years ago, have power to stir the heart as no other literature is able to do. these inspired hymns express perfectly every emotion and aspiration of the human spirit, its joy and hope and love and gratitude, its sorrows and fears and regrets. The are not the fruit of mere human genius; they were inspired by the spirit of God who created the human heart and who, therefore, knows it intimately.
