Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commentary on Psalms The book of Psalms was the hymnal and prayer book of the Jews composed by many different authors over a long period of time. These hymns and prayers were collected and used by the people of Israel in their worship gatherings. Eventually this collection was included in their scriptures. These religious poems represent many different forms. There are hymns of praise and worship of God; many take the form of prayers for help, protection, and salvation; and others are pleas for forgiveness. They may be songs of thanksgiving for God´s blessing or petitions for the punishment of enemies. The prayers are both personal and national. They portray the most intimate feelings of one individual or are the expression of many. Some of the Psalms represent the needs and feelings of all the people of God. The Psalms were quoted by Jesus, cited by the writers of the New Testament, and became the treasured book of worship of the early Christian church, from its very beginning. The Hebrew name for Psalms was "The Book of Praises." The present name derives from the Latin Vulgate, which followed the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament). It is the second of three Old Testament books considered poetical: Job, Psalms, and Proverbs. These three were also called "books of truth." Some scholars feel the final editing probably took place in the time of Ezra. Thus the dates when the individual Psalms were written must range through many centuries. The Psalter was closely associated with the Pentateuch. The repeated reading of the Psalter led to the use of certain Psalms on specific occasions and festivals such as the Feast of Booths. Thus, scholars believe that the Psalms were used liturgically in Hebrew worship, just as they have been in the life of the church. Seventy-three of the Psalms were written by David. A number were contributed by the Levitical singing clans of Asaph and Korah. Forty-nine have anonymous authorship. The 150 Psalms are organized into five books, which represent four collections added to the first worship book.
