The book is divided into two parts, with the first part examining the Psalms of lament and the second part exploring the Psalms of praise. In the first part, Cameron examines the various types of lament found in the Psalms, such as individual and communal laments, and how they express the range of human emotions in response to suffering and injustice. He also looks at the historical and cultural context in which the Psalms were written and how they were used in ancient Israelite worship. In the second part, Cameron turns his attention to the Psalms of praise, which celebrate God's goodness, power, and faithfulness.
