Psalms 129, 130, and 131: A Framework for Trauma Care

Journal of Biblical Counseling 38:1

This article offers a biblical framework to help people who have experienced trauma. “The Bible is about recovery,” says Stryd. He asserts that Psalms 129, 130, and 131 form a liturgy of recovery that can help a person work through what happened to them and begin to heal. He shows how this liturgy works with a case study and ends with the recognition that Jesus, as the fulfillment of the Psalms, is everything we need to be made whole again and recover from trauma.
