We shouldn&apos;t be too surprised if Jesus, the Son of David, was also a song writer. The Lord&apos;s Prayer is a psalm, and reading the prayer as a psalm opens up its meaning. <br/> To read the Lord&apos;s Prayer as a psalm, you have to be able to read a psalm as a psalm. So this book is first of all an adventure in reading the Bible&apos;s poetry–the psalms, of course, but also much of the prophets&apos; testimony. The Old Testament&apos;s poetry is rich in themes important to the Lord&apos;s Prayer: heaven and earth, kingship and covenant, prophetic teaching and repentance, priesthood and redemption. <br/> Jesus brilliantly brings these strands together in the prayer through which he taught his disciples to pray. Much richer than a «laundry list» of petitions, the prayer beautifully affirms the counter-cultural kingdom of the only true God. It commits us to merciful behavior and full dependence upon–and contentment with–God&apos;s provision. The prayer is a plea that the rift between God&apos;s authority and this earth would be healed . . . all organized around images of Israel&apos;s experiences in the Exodus.
