This survey of the Spirit’s activity in the book of Psalms examines six prominent texts in which the word “spirit” ( רוח ) appears (Psalms 18, 51, 104, 139, 142, and 143). The study of these texts suggests that the Spirit is described in the Psalter as the agent of God’s life-giving power and as the administrator of God’s moral authority. As the agent of God’s life-giving power, the Holy Spirit creates all life and sustains all life. As administrator of God’s moral authority, the Holy Spirit saves, guides, sanctifies, and enacts judgment
