Regarding the purpose of this particular study, please allow an exerpt from the study material to explain:

"The recognition of the Psalms largely as prayers, and the study of them as such, will hopefully: a) Allow the knowledge of God and the appreciation of His majesty to likewise produce more delight in the privilege of prayer for us; b) Increase our regard for the law, testimonies, and commandments of God; and, c) Provide not only greater emotion in our prayers, but the better expression of it. Obviously, we are not divinely inspired poets or composers like the Psalmists. But hopefully, by a better understanding of these prayerful songs, our prayers (and songs!) will become more genuine and heartfelt expressions of our love for God, our appreciation of His blessings, our dedication to His will, and our absolute dependence upon Him." (Prayer and Praise from the Psalms; Philip C. Strong; p.5)
