I have read many of of the Psalms and some of them were pretty good but most were obviously just an assignment without depth or any emotion. Then I read this one. It was written by a sincere, intelligent, insightful, kind young man, and one of my favorite students ever, Ryan Williams. I received permission from him and his mother as well to post this precious psalm on my blog today.
