In Psalm 145, we read, "The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love."
W. Robert Godfrey· Guest0:08
This is what the Lord revealed to Moses. This is what is celebrated throughout the Old Testament. It's celebrated in the Psalter over and over again, and really brings us to the heart of biblical religion, that for His own, the Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. What a wonderful picture of God's character.

[instrumental music] Hello, and welcome to Renewing Your Mind on this Friday. I'm Lee Webb. Yesterday and today, we're learning to love the Psalms with the help of Ligonier's chairman, W. Robert Godfrey. Throughout the Psalms, we see lament, sorrow, fear, but also comfort, praise, and hope. To this point, we've really only had a taste of this series, so I do encourage you to take advantage of today's special resource offer. When you make a donation in support of Renewing Your Mind at renewingyourmind.org before midnight tonight, both the series and the hardcover companion book will be yours as our way of saying thank you for your generosity. Well, today, Dr. Godfrey takes us to the final portion of the Psalter and shows us how the entire book has been leading to this crescendo of praise.
