How Psalms 131 fits the whole book
Psalms gives us inspired words for every season — praise, lament, confession, trust, and hope — all pointing to the King. Chapter 131 of Psalms contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
