Starting at Psalm 1 and ending at Psalm 150, Poor Bishop Hooper (the husband and wife duo of Jesse and Leah Roberts) released a simple, meditative song each week for nearly three years. In this interview, Mike talks to Jesse Roberts about his journey with the Psalms, the process of creating original music for the Psalms, and the impact of these prayers in their family and in their ministry.

“The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof…” (Psalm 24:1)

The Psalms are poems of ancient Israel, and they involve themes and categories that we in our modern time might not understand, concepts like the temple and purification. But this rich context of the past, Old Testament people of God is an invitation to know more about the God of the Bible who never changes.

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)

The Psalms are well-known and beloved by many people, and certain psalms have a resonance in our souls because we have heard them often and perhaps even memorized parts of them. And yet familiar psalms can become wondrously strange to us when we study them anew and come out the other side with a deeper appreciation and love.

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1)

The Psalms are inherently communal, which is sometimes surprising given that some psalmists describe their intense loneliness. The Psalms give words to our isolation, but we must not forget that these are also corporate songs for the community of God’s people. It’s one thing to sing a lament alone; it’s another thing to sing a lament with others, weeping with those who weep.

“O LORD, in your strength the king rejoices…” (Psalm 21:1)

The Psalms often assume the reality of war. In a fallen world filled with evil and injustice, the psalms frequently describe the presence of war and even rejoice when, through military victories, the God of love and power delivers his people by punishing the wicked. There’s never a glorification of war in these songs; the glory is reserved for the victory of God’s justice putting an end to harmful wrongs.

“May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble!” (Psalm 20:1)

The Psalms are about kings and nations as much as they are about prayer and worship. That much is inescapable, especially because Psalm 2 is an introduction that sets up the book of Psalms as a drama between God’s promised Anointed King, his enemies, and those who find refuge in him.

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” (Psalm 19:1)

The Psalms speak about God speaking to us, so they invite us into a conversation. The Creator and Redeemer God communicates with his people, and then we respond both by speaking to him and by teaching one another the true and perfect words of our Lord.
