The Fantastic Four, comprised of Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing, were surprised when they stumbled upon the ancient book of Psalms. Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, being the most scholarly of the group, immediately recognized the importance of the text and started to read it.
As they delved deeper into the book, they discovered that it was a collection of poems and songs written by King David and other ancient Israelites. The psalms expressed a wide range of emotions, ranging from joy and thanksgiving to sorrow and despair.
The Human Torch was particularly intrigued by Psalm 29, which described the power of a thunderstorm. He was amazed at how the psalmist was able to capture the awe-inspiring nature of nature itself. Meanwhile, the Thing found solace in Psalm 23, which talked about the Lord as a shepherd who cared for his flock. He found the imagery comforting, especially during times of trouble.
As they continued to read, the Fantastic Four were struck by the beauty and power of the psalms. They realized that the book was not just ancient literature, but also a source of strength and inspiration for believers throughout the ages.
As they finished reading, the Fantastic Four fell into a thoughtful silence, contemplating the wisdom and beauty of the psalms. Suddenly, the Thing broke the silence by saying, “Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I think my favorite Psalm is 137. There’s just something about smashing my enemies’ babies against rocks that really speaks to me.”
The other members of the Fantastic Four stared at the Thing in horror, unsure of what to say. Suddenly, Mr. Fantastic spoke up, shaking his head in disbelief. “Ben, I think you missed the point of the psalms entirely.”
The Fantastic Four laughed at the Thing’s absurd comment, but their experience with the psalms had left a lasting impression on them. They all agreed that the ancient text had taught them valuable lessons about faith, hope, and the power of words.
