1400s–400s BC (spanning nearly a millennium)
The worshipping community of — and anyone who prays
To provide Israel (and all believers) with a vocabulary for worship, lament, praise, confession, and prayer
If you've ever wanted to scream at God, thank Him till your voice gives out, or just sit in silence with your grief — there's already a psalm for that. Psalms is 150 poems covering every human emotion, organized into five books spanning nearly a thousand years of Israel's history. It's the Bible's prayer journal, hymn book, and lament collection all in one — and Jesus quoted it more than any other Old Testament book.
The entire book of Psalms opens not with a song but with a choice — two paths, pick one, no cap.
Psalms 1 — The Two Paths Hit Different
Jesus quoted David's 'into Your hands I commit my spirit' on the cross a thousand years later — lowkey one of the hardest callbacks in all of Scripture
Psalms 31 — When You're Down Bad But God's Still Got You
There's a massive difference between a mood and a vow — moods fade after the worship set but vows mean showing up for God every single day.
Psalms 61 — When You're at the End of the Earth and Still Praying
Satan literally quoted this psalm when tempting Jesus — even the enemy knows how powerful these promises are, he just tried to twist them.
Psalms 91 — God's Protection Plan Hits Different
The Dead Sea Scrolls proved the Bible text hasn't been corrupted. A goat herder stumbled on the receipts.
We can map every neuron in the brain. We still can't explain why anyone is 'home' inside it.
Discovered in a Jerusalem burial cave in 1979, they predate the Dead Sea Scrolls by 400 years — and quote Numbers 6 word for word.
David asked his own soul 'why are you so downcast?' in Psalm 42. He didn't have an answer. He wrote about it anyway.
