Creative Reflection with the Psalms

Posted byrevdcatePosted inArtwork, ResourcesTags:, , , , , , , , ,

My 2022 Lenten discipline is to read through the first book of Psalms (1-41) and spend time reflecting on one a day, producing a piece of artwork in response (with space allowed for days ‘off’!)

This page will be updated throughout Lent 2022.

Christ the King sits enthroned in judgement, clouds above and fire below. Text: "You rulers of the nations, act wisely! Be warned! Serve the Lord with reverent fear. For his anger flares up in an instant, but what joy for all who take refuge in him!"
Psalm 2. “You rulers of the nations, act wisely! Be warned! Serve the Lord with reverent fear. For his anger flares up in an instant, but what joy for all who take refuge in him!”
a woman sleeps cradled by ribbons of light. text: Psalm 3. "You, O Lord, are a shield around me, you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord is watching over me."

a weighing scales. On the heavier side, a feather. On the lighter side, a small person sleeps. Text: O God who declares me innocent, free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayers...In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone will keep me safe. Psalm 4.
Psalm 4.
“O God who declares me innocent, free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayers…In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone will keep me safe”
