The Psalms

I had a thought about the Psalms today. When you read the Psalms, you realize just how foreign the words are to everything else we hear in the world around us. When do you hear someone expressing the attributes of God? When do you hear someone proclaiming their need for help from on high? When do you hear the kind of vulnerable language that is everywhere in the Psalms? When do you hear the high language of love and adoration towards our Creator just spoken or written? There is a gaping void in the Universe that the Psalms fill. It's just amazing to me.
