Art Exhibition (David's Psalms)
What Is This All About?
This creative initiative invites artists in our church family to prayerfully choose one of David’s Psalms and create a painting that visually represents the heart, theme, or message of that Psalm. Through this, we aim to bring the timeless prayers of Scripture into vivid expression, fostering worship, reflection, and community engagement.
The word "psalm" means song, and while the original music has been lost to time, the lyrical poetry remains—powerful and raw. Hebrew poetry, unlike Western poetry, relies not on rhyme or meter, but on paired ideas, a form that translates beautifully across languages.
The Psalms are passionate, expressing the full spectrum of human emotion—from elation to despair, from confession to confidence. They don’t just teach about God—they give us words to speak to God. They show us what it means to bring our whole heart—polished or not—before the Lord.
To create a gallery of original artwork inspired by David’s Psalms, showing how they:
- Reflect David’s heart and life story
- Point forward to Christ, the true King
- Model honest, God-centered prayer in every season of life
1. You must be a member or regular attender at Cornerstone Bible Church.
2. You must be in High School or an adult to participate.
3. Prayerfully read through the categorized Psalms below.
4. Choose one Psalm that resonates with your heart or season of life.
5. Create an original painting that visually interprets the core theme, emotional tone, or theological truth of the Psalm.
6. Include a brief artist's note with your painting—1–2 paragraphs explaining how the Psalm inspired your work.

“Are you bringing your whole heart to God—your joy, pain, failure, and worship?”
Let David’s Psalms become your language with God—and now, through art, a language for others to see, feel, and enter into.
Wherever you are—in the pasture, the palace, or the pit—God meets you there.
