Psalms of the Morning | The Church’s Prayers at Dawn

The people of ancient Israel taught the world to “awake the dawn” with songs of praise. Jesus himself rose early to begin his days with these morning prayers. While the psalms are two to three thousand years old, they are amazingly contemporary. They have been prayed by the kings and priests of Israel, the apostles of the church, and the whole community of God’s people in the temple, synagogue, monastery, cathedral, chapel, and home. We too may seize the day by beginning with these inspired psalms.
