Nice
An interesting endeavor, to say the least, worthwhile and an excellent view of the psalms.I'd like to know what translation you're working with because I still find some phrases and lines unclear. Nevertheless, this was very hrlpful.
Hi Richard, thanks for the comment. I read from various translations, including the NRSV, NKJV, ESV and NIV. I Used BibleHub for parallel tranlsations when I was closely studying an individual verse.
A very heart touching verse, and I will say it in sundayschool.
Never get comfortable (walk, stand, sit) in the way of the ungodly.
V 6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous.
It mostly talks about the wicked and the righteous. Great chapter summary.
It is very good and very nice.
That is just what I need
Hello Chris. Thank you very much for that. I only found out about these summaries a few days ago. I presume they are but just to confirm....are the verses in each summary verses from the Psalms themselves? When you say summary, you mean parts of the psalm, not your own ideas, right? Just checking. Thank you.
Hi Erica, yes, all the ideas in the summaries are from the psalms themselves. I've selected what I think are the most important themes, and I've paraphrased the language, but I (hopefully) haven't added of my own ideas.
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.

These are the summaries of the book of Psalms.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
