Sing Praise to the Lord (Study Guide on Psalms)

The psalms are actually a set of five books of hymns and praises to be used by Israel for devotion and worship. They are written by several authors including David, Solomon, Moses, and others who chose to remain anonymous.  None of the psalms can be proven to have been of a later date than the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. Therefore, the whole collection extends over a period of about 1,000 years of Israelite history. This study guide outlines each book and provides supplemental material to futher your study on the psalms.
