Did you know that many of the Psalms are connected? They may have been written by the same author or refer to the same event. Psalms 3 and 4 are one such pair. Others are Psalms 1 and 2, 18 through 21, 42 and 42, and 118 and 119. Some psalm are theologically paired while others are companions that tell a story.
