The Value of the Psalms The Psalms teach us to trust in God and to give to him our devotion, obedience, and praise. We are reminded that we need God's mercy, grace, and forgiveness. In the LORD, we will find the confidence and strength which we need as we face the trials and temptations of life. The prophecies of the Psalms that are fulfilled in Jesus Christ will give us hope of an eternal life with God.
