God wants us to worship him, so it shouldn't surprise us that the longest book of the Bible sets out to show us how. The Psalms were written by Israel's greatest worshippers over the course of 1,000 years in order to teach God's People how he wants them to worship him. They show us what kind of worship is music to God's ears.
