The Book of Psalms
Psalms is the great hymnal and prayer book of the Bible, one hundred and fifty inspired songs that give voice to the full range of human life before God. Here the people of God learn to praise and to lament, to give thanks and to confess, to wait and to hope. The Psalms are astonishingly honest, holding nothing back from the LORD, yet they always draw the heart upward to trust in his steadfast love. Composed across centuries by David, the sons of Korah, Asaph, Solomon, Moses, and others, the collection is gathered into five Books that mirror the five books of Moses. Again and again the Psalms reach beyond their first singers to the coming King, so that Jesus himself read these songs as words about him. To pray the Psalms is to be taught how to worship.
