We are continuing our series of reflections on the Psalms. Each day we will upload a new reflection to the website. We hope and pray that you will find them helpful and that they bring hope during this season. Click on these buttons to read the text of the psalm or listen to a recording of it. You can also listen to the reflection using the audio player below. Read Psalm 108  Listen to Psalm 108 Psalm 108 has been categorised as one of the Psalms of “Prayers for Restoration From National Distress and Defeat.” Often, as we have explored the psalms, we have focused on how they relate to us as individuals. It is interesting to remember that many of the psalms were written to respond to the collective experience of a wider group of people. In the case of Psalm 108, it is likely that the psalm was written in response to the Babylonian exile. Following Jesus is a collective experience as much as we also relate to God as individuals. Remembering the nature of God together in a group in times of trouble can be a hugely uplifting experience. I wonder if you were writing a psalm for our church today, considering your hopes and dreams, what would it say? Lord, would you speak to us about your vision for our nation.
