If any of you are English majors at Uni and take a poetry class, read a psalm for the class. We had poetry readings in my class and I got up and read Psalm 22 out loud. I was super nervous and shaking like a leaf but God gave me strength to get through it. Some people said it wasn’t poetry but most of the psalms ARE poetry, and beautifully written poetry at that! Plus most of my classmates are not believers including my professor so I hope it at least convicted some them to be more open towards the Bible and hopefully one day read it for themselves. The Bible is such an awesome book, I praise God and thank Him for allowing me to see the truth and understand scripture.

The Bible Projest’s art will never stop surprising and amaze me.

God bless bible project 🙏✝️

As an animator, I really appreciate the Diamond scene with switching angles of the hand and the diamond itself. Very masterful! Bible Project's excellence in honoring God through art is a great example to us artists!

I just have to add - while I adore Bible Project's art... this episode is a pure masterpiece.

I'm not a christian and I write poetry here and now. I read some chapters from Song of Songs and found it one of the simplest and most beautiful poetry ever written. I'm here so that I can better understand it next time I read it. 😁

The best KZfaq channel to me.

Poetry in general is my biggest weakness - I’m too literal! I’ve been praying for guidance on tackling it since ⅓ if the Bible is poetry I’ve got to understand it! Prayers were answered through TBP videos! Thank you TBP! May YaHWeH continue to Bless you richly! ✞

"Biblical poetry is a bottomless well." Very well said. Keeps us coming back over and over again when the new wells dry out.

I love poetry I write poems myself praise the Lord for biblical poetry love the bible project

As a creative writer who wants to publish Christian Poet in the future, this video made me so happy. It was beautiful to watch, and very vivid itself. Thanks for sharing!

This is honestly one of the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen. Really love everything you guys do. I’m a philosophy undergraduate in the UK, and your videos and podcasts (esp. the ones on wisdom literature) really show a love of wisdom so absent from most of my lecturers and colleagues (it’s a little ironic ‘philosophy’ is supposed to be ‘the love of wisdom’)

Personally, I dislike a lot of poetry. However - there are parts of the Bible that never fail to give me chills. Psalm 104 is one such poem. There are many more but... man. Uberchills!

I like to write poetry. There are certain things that are hard to explain that poetry makes a bit easier. This video not only inspired me but also gave me a greater appreciation for poetry in the Bible!

God's works is unpredictable. I'm currently reading Bible from Genesis to Revelation and yesterday I started reading Psalm and ta-daaa this video came. Such a perfect timing.

Am I the only one who got surprised when it ended? 😁 I was like it's the end already??? I want more!!!!😂😂😂 Good stuff @TheBibleProject you folks rock!

Going though the poetic books right now. Spot on timing!

My eyes viewed the beauty, my spirit breathed it in. (how did I do? 😊) Amazing work, BP. 🌸📖

This one is right in my wheelhouse, you guys. Thank you for this. I believe this video will not only deepen my understanding of scripture, but make me a better poet as well! Keep up the great work!

I keep telling people God has art classes in heaven. Proof? Bible Project! May God keep blessing this ministry

What surprise me is not only the animation (that helps me to understand everything), but that way that Tim explain the Bible in such simple way. Thank you so much for sharing with us all your knowledge. God bless you.

Bro this channel is a bigger blessing weeks after weeks ! :o :D thank you Lord !

Seriously, these are the only videos I don't scroll down to see the comments. This whole line of How to Read the Bible has captured me. I can't stress enough at how blessed and what a talent God has given those who are involved. The animation is superb and the words are chosen just as wisely as the Gospels in a day and age like ours today. God bless all those involved in this entire project.

The Bible Project has given me a new understanding of the power of God's Word, and God has ignited a hunger for it in me. God bless you!

These animations are something else! :D

Glory to God. I needed to know more about poetry. Can’t wait for more😍🙏🏻 thank you

I'm just like 😯. Thank you!

May God bless you always for sharing God's words

I watch this every night love it keep up the good work

i am so loving your outstanding creativety😚😚😊

I cannot thank you guys enough, thank you for doing the will of God, you’re helping people like me in India and so many other places where we do not have a physical human teacher present to teach us . All glory to God

This is MY favorite day. There IS something about poetry that causes me to down and deeply observe what's going on. 🎶Peace like a river floods my soul.🎶 It is so sweet. I wholeheartedly agree there is a certain order to biblical poetry that is masterfully written.

Thank y’all for helping me learn the Bible you are great teachers.

Thank you Lord for the “prayers” that are recorded in your word! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Love your videos !! Great learning tool for my family , helps my son understand so much better

Theee best thing that has ever happened to me is coming across 'The Bible Project' content. Thank you for allow God to use you in this way. 📍South Africa

*Loving these videos too much*

Thank you so much for covering this!!!

Like the dream-like watercolor effect

What more can an art and literature student ask for?!! Seriously in depth and fantastic, really unpacks literary devices!

Yeah!! Love these vids!! ❤

Thank you, TBP! Y'all's vids are the best!

Bible Project videos made it easier for me to understand the real story of the Bible. It's artistically designed for visualization which allowed me to grasp the simple truths that the authors of each book intend to show. Praise God for stumbling on this very rich and informative videos. May God bless you more 🙏

Thank you for increasing literacy in this arena in such an accessible way.

I love the Bible Project's videos, but this one really stands out. This video really captures your imagination, and translates dialogue into presentation in a stunning fashion. These videos aren't just informative, they're formal artistic expressions, molding a thought into a visual representation of that idea. I sincerely applaud the Bible Project for their outstanding content!

God bless you guys

So awesome!!! A good example of a “Refrain” would be Psalm 136, right? “His love endures forever” repeated after every line. 😍

Love your art!!!

Beautiful, thank you! ❤️

Love this! It was much needed in my personal study. I love the way Tim reads the poetry on his podcast teachings, he brings them to life. Thank you for all the work you do in bringing The Bible alive.

3:35 this video has got to be one of the most beautiful videos I've seen from TBP. I absolutely love it, especially the art. Kudos to everyone behind the animation. 💖

I have been feeling a lack of passion recently, but I watched this whole series up to here and now I'm jacked! Thanks so much! God is really using you guys

Bible project really helped my Christian growth❤️thanks.

They beautifully and clearly unfolded the explanation on biblical poems! The art in this video is so intentional, clarifying the points shared in such a smooth and rich manner ✨

The Bible Project defines the beauty of the bible! What beauty that have defined!

Yes I always thought this about the Bible, it’s pure poetry and I always found that so so beautiful. Thanks for this video 💕

I just won't stop praising GOD for giving us you guys!!!!!!!

Love your Videos 🙌😍

GOD graciously leading our heart .. leading our mind .. leading our soul to HIS deep truth ..leading us back to HIM .. to HIS Love which is beyond all understanding

For awhile now, I’ve been listening to your videos as I fall asleep at night. Thank you so much for filling my evenings with God’s word and teaching. It’s brought me so much comfort and peace. Keep doing what you’re doing and may The Lord bless you in all you do. :)

I can't wait to watch and hear more from the Project. Each new video and teaching has blown my mind and really helped me internalize the deep truth and complexity of scripture. Thanks and much love!

Thank you guys so much for these video God bless you guys and your families Amen

To know yourself write a poem; laying open your soul begins with the pen. That is why David and Solomon are my favorite biblical poets. I see myself in their words.

Please do a part two to this including parallelism, alliteration, assonance, and sharpening perspective/focus. All essential to Biblical poetry, like how the repetition of words in Proverbs weave a web of connecting words that makes one feel like they are walking on a twisting and swirling path, while the poet himself talks about choosing the right "path". Amazing stuff!

Biblical poetry is beautiful as it speaks to the heart about God's truth. I love reading Psalms in particular.

God bless you all and your whole family! You all are so amazing and strong! Thank you so much for this video BibleProject team! ❤️ Does anyone want me to pray for them or their family? I would love to do that!😊❤️

I have a doctorate in education and have been watching your videos. They are excellent! You guys are wonderful teachers. God bless you. Praying for you guys and your ministry.

The graphic artists have really upped their game! I'm thoroughly enjoying the new effects. Particularly the 3-dimensional perspective.

Probably one of your most aesthetically pleasing videos for some of the most aesthetically pleasing literature in all the world. Thanks guys!

The art style in this video was beautiful!

Yassssssss! This is what I need right now.

Wow. This really made me feel the awe of the words in the bible. Poetry within itself is simply amazing, but to take it to an even deeper, yet higher, understanding is simply sublime. And you guys and your artistry; how wonderful. I understood the words by the art. Holy inspiration!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Tim & John for giving me an appreciation of biblical poetry that I never had before!!!😊💓😃😄

Man this is so key to understanding why you're reading what you're reading. Very interesting!

God Bless Bible Project 🙏🏼🙌❤ I have learned Soooo Much ...Praise God 🙌🙌

Oh this particular video is one of my absolute favourites! Thank you. The artistry is phenomenal! Hallelujah!

PRAISE God for this Endeavor ,God bless Bible Project!🙏

I love you guys!!!!!

The bible app got me a verse I needed today

I Love what you do. God is so gracious for giving to all Bible Project's team such a wonderful gift and for us the opportunity of watching it. This were the most beautiful video I ever had watched on KZfaq

Wow, exciting message and beautiful illustrations. The Bible Project is my favorite KZfaq channel!

Awesome and excited☺

I needed this today. Im a inspiring writer whos had been having a serious case of writers block. But this realky helped me get back to the right frame of mind. Two birds one stone, I learned something biblical, and poetic all at once. Thanks. May the good lord keep blessing you all.

Can't wait for the podcasts about this topic! Could you give some literature for us to learn to read biblical poetry, especially the prophets?

The fact that you used poetry to illustrate on poetry both verbally & imagery is masterful & divinely excellent. God bless you all. I would fund a project to create a detailed series of the entire bible by you guys. Cartoons & animation nowadays are so corrupted & evil you can't honestly let you kids watch anything without you being present

This was excellent! I'm a literature minor and have ALWAYS LOVED literature, all sorts of literature, but I've always struggled with the Scriptures. Can't memorize it for the life of me, and while re-reading certain passages and books helps me to understand them, I apparently never had the tools to PROPERLY analyze what I was reading, especially poetry. This video is INVALUABLE to me! Thank you so much!!!

Praise the lord 🙌, God bless you guys.

Lovely diamond analogy :)) On a more personal note, I would subconsciously check-out or not fully grasp whenever I’d see verses in poetry form. This video allowed me to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the art. thank you!

I'm a visual learner - this was so good for me. I studied the Bible when in college but that was, er - a long time ago. Great video!!!.

Thank you so much guys. You've helped me understand the Bible in ways that I couldn't even imagine. It would have took me several hours of reading different books, just to understand what you can teach in a 5 minutes video. God bless you.

The visual of the diamond is going to stick in my heart from now on. What a way to portray the multifaceted aspects of God's word!

You guys just make the Word of God more interesting by each videos xD👌 I'm really encourage to read the bible after watching your videos 😊✌️🤓

Psalms 6 got me through my depression and helped me turn to God. It's so simple and powerful!

I'm soooo watching this and taking notes! You guys... Never cease to amaze us all. Thank God for this team.

Jon and Tim, thank you soooo much for these brilliant videos. You all at The Bible Project are amazing. At our church we are studying the Bible (a book at a time) through Precept Ministries and your videos are such an added help. We thank God for you! Bless you! We are so WOWED by your creative work.

Thank you, I'm a little slower to learn on my own, you guys help me understand. You help make the Bible a beautiful gift to me.

All Hail the Greatest of Channels!

This is the most beautiful animation I’ve ever experienced.

This is gold! It took my so long it get this idea when I was first studying the Bible and this video does it in 5 minutes. Thank you for sharing.
