#Psalmtweet #Psalter 22:22

 150 tweets and we're a little more than a seventh into the process. What happens if you read the whole psalter in sequence? Is it like reading any other book of poetry?

From the lion's mouth

ה֭וֹשִׁיעֵנִי מִפִּ֣י אַרְיֵ֑ה
וּמִקַּרְנֵ֖י רֵמִ֣ים עֲנִיתָֽנִי
22 ♪g Save me from the lion's mouth.
From the horns of wild bulls you have answered me.

This psalm describes the cost of the prayer and response of Psalms 20-21. As we will see again in Psalm 23, there is no doubt about enemies, and in Psalm 24, about the triumph of the king.
