"The psalmist invite you into perilous situations with them.  They have real questions about whether or not they will be alive tomorrow.  Their situations are probably more extreme than our own, but the psalmists rarely mention the specifics because they don't want the details of their personal stories to bar us from entering in with our own.  Instead, they invite us to participate whenever possible.  They are choirmasters who want us to join them in their chorus to the Lord."
