Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens This psalm doesn’t open gently. It opens like a summons. “The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.” There is no corner untouched by this voice. No safe distance. No neutral observer. God speaks, and the whole world is…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens By the time we reach the end of this psalm, the tone has softened—not because the truth is lighter, but because it’s settled. “Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases.” This isn’t dismissal. It’s release. The psalmist knows how easy it is to…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens This psalm doesn’t rush past the hard truth. It sits with it. “For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others.” There’s no bitterness in this—just inevitability. Wisdom does not grant exemption. Ignorance does not accelerate the end.…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens This is where the psalm turns inward. After calling everyone to listen, the writer admits something quietly vulnerable: “Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me?” It’s not a theoretical question. It’s the kind you ask when pressure closes in and…

Micah Siemens—By Micah Siemens Some words ask politely. This psalm does not. It opens by clearing its throat and raising its voice. “Hear this, all peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world.” No exclusions. No target audience. Not just the faithful. Not just the powerful. Not just those who already agree. Everyone. There’s something…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens After the fear passes, something quieter happens. The psalm slows down. “We have thought on your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.” This is not rushed gratitude. It’s reflection. The kind that comes after you’ve survived something— when adrenaline fades and you’re left asking what held you.…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens Fear usually knows its lines. It enters early, raises its voice, controls the pace of the scene. It tells us what will happen next, how bad it will be, and why we should brace ourselves. But in this psalm, fear shows up—and then falls apart. “For behold, the kings assembled; they…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens Some places change how you breathe. You don’t realize it at first—your shoulders drop, your pace slows, your thoughts soften. You haven’t done anything yet, but something in you knows: this is solid ground. That’s the feeling Psalm 48 opens with. “Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens The sound continues—but it changes. “God has gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.” This is not chaos. It is celebration with direction. The noise is no longer scattered joy—it is focused praise, gathering around a throne. “Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises…

Emotional Meditation—By Micah Siemens This psalm does not ease into worship. It erupts. “Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy!” There is no apology in this invitation. No concern for volume. No embarrassment about emotion. Worship here is physical—hands moving, voices raised, joy embodied. And for many of us,…
