Psalm

Read Psalms 101-104

Psalms 103:1 "Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name."

A psalm is part song, part poetry, part praise. Psalms are emotional, sometimes a positive emotion, sometimes an outpouring of anger or grief.

Even the more negative ones found in Psalms end positively. They seem to be part stream of consciousness and part journal.

When we want to write something that doesn’t quite fit into any other category, we might be writing a psalm. We can write some bits of wisdom or memorable phrases and build our psalm around them.
