First sentence: Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

This is a tiny book of Psalms. No book introductions. No notes. No devotions. Just the Word of God. The songbook of God, if you will. If you are looking for a book of Psalms to carry around, this one might be a good fit. It is slightly bigger than "pocket" size. But that also means the font size is bigger. The text of the Psalms is 11 point font, according to the book details. (It felt smaller to me personally. But I've been having a lot of vision problems lately).

I combined THE PSALMS with the Be Thou My Vision devotional. Both are published by Crossway. Both make great gifts. ( )

I absolutely love the size of this book. I carry in my bag all the time. There is plenty of space in the margins to write lots of notes. This book comes in so handy to read on the bus and train. It's perfect for praying while on a commute. ( )
