GRADE 5
In our Bible study in grade five
we have been studying the five
books of poetry in the Old
Testament; Job, Psalms, Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs.
We discovered that the book of
Psalms is a wonderful expression of
humans pouring out their emotions to God. What a comfort to
know that throughout the ages God has listened to his people
as they came to him through so many life experiences! During
our study of the book of Psalms, we learned about the authors,
the types of poetry – songs of praise, lament, penitence, trust,
and royal/messianic psalms (those looking forward to the
coming Messiah or foreshadowing events in Jesus’ life). We
learned that superscriptions – the small or italicized printing
beneath the psalm number – give the context of the poem.
Armed with their confessions, their Bibles, and their
knowledge about the book of Psalms, the fifth grade students
set about writing their own expressions of praise to our Creator
God.
