Psalms

The Book of Psalms is a collection of 150 poems, songs, and prayers that form one of the most beloved and widely read books in the Bible. Spanning a wide range of human emotions and experiences, the Psalms give voice to both personal and communal expressions of worship, lament, thanksgiving, and praise.

Traditionally attributed largely to King David, the Psalms also include compositions by other figures such as Asaph, the sons of Korah, Solomon, Moses, and anonymous authors. The book is divided into five sections, mirroring the five books of the Torah, and serves as a spiritual guide for prayer and worship.

Themes found in the Psalms include:

• God’s majesty, holiness, and faithfulness
• The struggles and hopes of individuals and the nation of Israel
• Confession of sin and cries for forgiveness
• Celebrations of God’s law and His righteous rule
• Prophetic glimpses of the coming Messiah

The Psalms are used both liturgically and personally, offering comfort, strength, and insight to believers across centuries. Whether in times of joy or sorrow, the Psalms remind us that God is near, attentive, and worthy of all praise.
