Through the Psalms with Derek Prince

Book excerpt: The Book of Psalms is one of the most beloved books of the Bible. Its songs are a source of comfort, a touchstone for worship, and a means to put words to the deepest aches and longings of the human heart. In this devotional, Derek Prince brings insights from the Psalms through 101 meditations that are personal, enriching, and practical for everyday life. Each meditation is based on a specific passage, develops a theme, and concludes with a one-sentence faith response. Prince, who lives in Jerusalem, draws on his comprehensive knowledge of Scripture, his understanding of Hebrew culture and language, and his personal experience to capture something of the heart of David, and of God. As Prince unfolds the eternal truths of the Psalms, he highlights seven main themes: " God's eternal majesty " prayer and praise " learning God's ways " times of pressure " God's all-embracing care " God's Word at work " time and eternity Through the Psalms with Derek Prince was published in cloth by Chosen in 1983 under the title Chords from David's Harp and in trade paper in 1986.
