About The Book of Psalms

The Book of Psalms, commonly referred to simply as Psalms, the Psalter or “the Psalms”, is a book of the Christian Old Testament. The title is derived from the Greek translation, ψαλμοί, 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. Wikipedia contributors. (2021, April 5). Psalms.
