How to follow the plan

Choose a regular reading time. Read in one sitting or divide the day’s selection between morning and evening.
Read the psalms in context. Notice who is speaking, what is being asked and whether the words express praise, sorrow, thanksgiving or a plea for help.
Write one observation or question. You do not need to find an immediate answer to every difficult phrase.
Continue from where you stopped. If you miss a day, resume with the next unread selection.

30-day Psalms reading schedule

The days count reading sessions, not calendar dates. Psalm lengths vary, so five psalms will not take the same time every day. Day 24 includes Psalm 119; divide that reading across extra sessions if needed.

Questions to use after any psalm

What does the speaker say about God?
What request, praise or concern can you find in the text?
Which word or image would you like to understand better?
What question could you bring to your next Bible discussion?

A shorter seven-session starting point for families

If five psalms a day is too much, try these individual readings first. These selections are a starting point, not a replacement schedule for reading the whole book.

Psalm 8 (WEB) — What things in creation are mentioned?
Psalm 23 (WEB) — Which pictures describe the shepherd’s care?
Psalm 100 (WEB) — What actions are the readers invited to take?
Psalm 103:1-5 (WEB) — Which benefits are named?
Psalm 121 (WEB) — Where does the writer look for help?
Psalm 139:1-12 (WEB) — What does the writer say God knows?
Psalm 150 (WEB) — What instruments and actions appear in this psalm?

Reading the Psalms with children

Read the selected passage yourself first. Some psalms include violence, enemies or strong language of grief and judgment. Choose the amount of reading and explanation that suits the child, and allow honest questions. Explain unfamiliar words using the surrounding passage rather than adding events or promises that are not there.

For Psalm 119, read one eight-verse section at a time if that helps. Taking more than 30 days is a reasonable way to finish the full plan.
