Psalms 1-8

[wolfpurplemoon]

Psalm 1: People who believe in God & follow his laws are blessed and lots of good things happen to them.
Psalm 2: Heathens are angry and will be slaves of those who believe in God (would make anyone angry I'd imagine)
Psalm 3: A prayer that all the thousands of people who set themselves against the believer will be smited by God
Psalm 4: Fairly standard prayer
Psalm 5: A request for God to destroy the wicked and workers of iniquity, and bless the speaker
Psalm 6: Someone who is very ill asking to be returned to health
Psalm 7: More praying that the righteous speaker will be blessed and his enemies will be smited
Psalm 8: Telling God that he made everything and praising him for it (sucking up?)

You're right about the language being boring, it is very hard to wade through it all!

I dunno what I hope to gain, just to be able to say 'I have read it and I'm still an atheist thankyouverymuch' would be something I guess.

As for will power, knowing that I only have to read a relatively small amount each day makes it more manageable, though I am behind my reading plan right now due to being away for a couple of days!

Thanks for reading! (and love the icon!)
