How the Psalms have been central to worship through history
The Psalms have played an important role in Jewish and Christian tradition from ancient times until today. It is the oldest continually used songbook in human history. This is the story...
Origin of the Word
The English term Psalm is from the Greek word for a song accompanied by a musical instrument. This name comes from the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew word tehillim meaning songs of praise.
Authors
The "Book of Psalms", is also often called the "Psalms of David", although only about half were written by David. Some of them were written in response to particular events in David's life. The other psalms were written by, or attributed to, Asaph, the Sons of Korah, David's son Solomon, Ethan the Ezrahite, and some are anonymous. Psalm 90 is even attributed to Moses.
