A Path Through the Psalms

The same one hundred and fifty psalms, walked in a different order.

The Book of Psalms in the Library runs in its own order, Psalm 1 through Psalm 150, the way the Psalter has always been bound. This is a second way through the same days. It gathers them by what a heart is carrying rather than by number, opening on praise and moving through trouble, repentance, waiting and thanksgiving. Nothing here is a different reading. Every step leads to the same day in the book.

Walk it in order or pick it up anywhere. The Psalms have never required permission to be prayed out of sequence.
