BOOK OF PSALMS - BIBLE STUDY

The Book of Psalms (Hebrew: תְּהִלִּים‬, Tehillim, "praises"), commonly referred to simply as Psalms or "the Psalms", is the first book of the Ketuvim ("Writings"), the third section of the Hebrew Bible, and thus a book of the Christian Old Testament.

The title is derived from the Greek translation, ψαλμΠί, psalmoi, meaning "instrumental music" and, by extension, "the words accompanying the music". The book is an anthology of individual psalms, with 150 in the Jewish and Western Christian tradition and more in the Eastern Christian churches. Many of the psalms are linked to the name of David, but this is not accepted as historical fact by modern scholars.

The Book of Psalms is divided into five sections, each closing with a doxology (i.e., a benediction) - these divisions were probably introduced by the final editors to imitate the five-fold division of the Torah:

•Book 1 (Psalms 1 - 41)
•Book 2 (Psalms 42 - 72)
•Book 3 (Psalms 73 - 89)
•Book 4 (Psalms 90 - 106)
•Book 5 (Psalms 107 - 150)
