PSALMS
The Book of
Psalms is the largest and perhaps most widely used book in the Bible. It
explores the full range of human experiences in a very personal and
pracatical way. Its 150 "songs" run from the Creation through
the patriachial, theocratic, monarchical, exilic, and postexilic
periods. The tremendous breadth in the of subject matter of the Psalms
includes diverse topics, such as jubilation, war, peace, worship,
judgement, messianic prophecy, praise and lament. The Psalms were set to
the accompaniment of stringed instruments and served as the temple
hymnbook and devotional guide..
