The Psalter is the book in which the Word of God beComes man's Prayer. In other books of the Old Testament, "the words proclaim [God's] works and bring to light the Mystery they contain." 39 The words of the Psalmist, sung for God, both Express and acclaim the Lord's Saving works; the same Spirit inspires both God's work and man's Response. Christ will unite the two. In him, the psalms continue to teach us how to Pray.
