The Psalms are a rich treasury for personal worship, encouragement, direction for living, and strength. They take us from the very depths of human despair to the mountain peaks of spiritual union with the God of our universe. Throughout the centuries, countless people have found help for the journey of life in the Psalter. As you embark on this study of the Psalms you are treading on hallowed ground, following in the footsteps of many who have gone before you.
Reverend Rex. H. Henderson has done an outstanding job putting a fresh face
on these ancient words from God. May you receive more light for the way as you
read again these timeless truths.

A. from Northwest Missouri State University, Maryville, Missouri.
Dr. Barry Lumsden, Professor, University of North Texas writes: "Brother Henderson is clearly a lover of the psalms. Why is why he spent most of the year 2003 composing poems based on all 150 psalms contained in our English Old Testament. The volume you hold in your hands represents hours, days, weeks, and months of meditation, writing, praying, and rewriting--each in its own way an activity of the soul fueled by a love for God and His Word.
"I have come to know Brother Henderson as one whose heart for God is undivided and who dearly loves the Lord Jesus Christ."
