February Considerations: The Psalms

Many of the psalms are known as lamentations, or complaints brought to God -- complaints against enemies as well as complaints even against God. The language of the psalms is somethings accusatory, wagging a finger at enemies and again, even at God. Note that no matter how strong the language of the psalm, the psalm always ends with praise of God. Even in the midst of trouble, the psalmist cannot help but praise God.
