Psalmbody Once Told Me Gabalfa Baptist Church, Cardiff

"To the chief musician", "to the choirmaster", "to the director of music" etc

Depending on your version, many psalms begin with this note - but who exactly IS that? Is it just for the lead musician in the Ancient Church during the time of writing or is there someone else we should be thinking of?

Speaking of Anomalies (see previous episode) - if Jesus is the speaker, singer and pray-er of the Psalms then what about the Psalms where sin is confessed. Jesus is (and we must be very clear on this!) without sin. He knew no sin. He is the spotless Lamb...

Surely, then, He cannot pray the Psalms of confession can He?

We let the bible interpret its self to find some answers!

What about when "Jesus is the pray-er of the Psalm" just doesn't seem to fit? In this episode we discuss some Psalms which seem like out-liers to that rule.

When Jesus is asked by his disciples "how should we pray" why doesn't Jesus just point them to the psalms?



Or does he in fact point us to the psalms in the Lord's Prayer? Maybe so!

How else are the Psalms written for us, the Church? If these psalms are first written for Jesus, how is it we can take them up?

Hopefully our chat helps you think through these things.

OK we've done quite a few epis making the case that the Psalms are primarily the prayers of Jesus during HIs days on earth. So are they just about Jesus? What do they have to do with us?

The key word for this episode is "imputation"
