The Psalms of David

Many Psalms express deep emotion and struggle—do you think the historical hardships shaped their raw honesty? I wonder how readers today connect with that.

Some Psalms felt especially comforting or powerful depending on what I was going through. Are there specific ones that stand out for others in tough times?

The rhythm and imagery are striking. I'm curious whether the translation aimed to preserve the poetic structure or adapt it for modern readers.
