Psalm 33 - Sing a new song
This season we return to the Psalms, and it is good to start by exploring how we can read them.
Our initially general discussion of Inspiration leads to the reasonably profound idea of transferring a thought between two people. There are some interesting insights from mathematics, but some thoughts are not so easy to transfer to another person in high fidelity. The Psalms seem to be the result of many repeated attempts all building on each other and combining to provide a richer picture. We conclude by noticing the collective pronouns that end Psalms 33, and propose that one good way to read the Psalms is to do it together in community.
