Eleven feelings

A psalm can sit in more than one — Psalm 23 is comfort and protection both, which is why the counts add up to more than 150.

Or start with one of these three

  1. Psalm 23 · The LORD Is My Shepherd

    The shepherd psalm. The one most children learn first, and the one most adults still know by heart.

  2. Psalm 100 · Shout for Joy to the LORD

    Four verses, all of them cheerful. Good for a loud morning and easy to read aloud together.

  3. Psalm 4 · An Evening Prayer

    A psalm that ends in sleep. Written for the last five minutes of the day.

Every psalm, every feeling
