The Psalms express the most elemental human emotions, representing situations in which people are most vulnerable, ecstatic, or driven to the extremities of life and faith. Many people may be familiar with a few Psalms, or sing them as part of worship. Here highly respected author Walter Brueggemann offers readers an additional use for the Psalms: as scripted prayers we perform to help us reveal ourselves to God. Brueggemann explores the rich historical, literary, theological, and spiritual content of the Psalms while focusing on various themes such as praise, lament, violence, and wisdom. He skillfully describes Israel's expression of faith as sung through the Psalms, situates the Psalmic liturgical tradition in its ancient context, and encourages contemporary readers to continue to perform them as part of their own worship experiences. Brueggemann's masterful take on the Psalms as prayers will help readers to unveil their hopes and fears before God and, in turn, feel God's grace unveiled to them.

After providing the general sketches of an introduction Brueggeman introduces you to the Psalms by bringing you into their world, considering various types of Psalms through actual exegesis of certain Psalms. Brueggeman explores the relationship between Canaanite expressions and how Israel puts them to use in their own praise, the types of praises Israel gives, enthronement, YHWH and chaos, Jerusalem, lament, imprecations, ordering of Creation, wisdom psalms, memory, thanks, and special treatment of Psalms 22, 23, 51, and 73. The book ends with an appendix where Breuggeman lays out his "typology of function" based on Ricoeur, seeing Psalms in terms of orientation, disorientation, and reorientation, along with different critical approaches to the world in various Psalms, familiar if you have read similar such treatments yet appreciated in this current form. An extensive bibliography is also provided.
Well worth exploring when desiring to dig more deeply into the Psalms.
