Book Title The word psalms comes from the Greek word psalmoi. It suggests the idea of a “praise song,” as does the Hebrew word tehillim. It is related to a Hebrew concept which means “the plucking of strings.” It means a song to be sung to the accompaniment of stringed instruments. The Psalms is a collection of worship songs sung to God by the people of Israel with musical accompaniment. The collection of these 150 psalms into one book served as the first hymnbook for God’s people, written and compiled to assist them in their worship of God. At first, because of the wide variety of these songs, this praise book was unnamed, but eventually the ancient Hebrews called it “The Book of Praises,” or simply “Praises.” This title reflects its main purpose──to assist believers in the proper worship of God.

  • Exegesis of the Psalms “Selah”
    Notes ! 147 BIBLE STUDY METHODS: PSALMS The Psalms are emotional. At times, God speaks too, but most of what we read are man’s words directed toward heaven. All these words are completely inspired by God. Our issue is to determine how they function as God’s Word for us. The Psalms are not: • doctrinal teaching - No! • biblical commands on our behavior - No! • illustrations of biblical principles - No! They provide examples of how people expressed themselves to God (rightly or wrongly). They give us pause to think about (1) God, and (2) our relationships to God. They ask us to consider the “ways of God.” Exegesis of the Psalms Separate them by types. Understand their different forms and their different functions. The New Testament contains 287 Old Testament quotes. 116 are from Psalms. The 150 Psalms were written over a period of about 1000 years. Moses wrote Psalm 90 in 1400B.C. Ezra wrote Psalm 1 and Psalm 119 about 444 B.C. Our task is to view the Psalms through the lens of Salvation History. “Selah” The Psalms are poetry and songs. The music is lost to us. “Selah” was intended to signal a musical pause. It’s not necessary to read it out loud. It’s a signal to pause and meditate. Though the Psalms are different from each other, they all emphasize the spirit of the Law, not the letter. Do not use them to form doctrines, independent of New Testament writings. The Psalms are emotional poetry. They often exaggerate through the emotions of their writers. The language is picturesque.

  • Praise and Lament
    Psalms Praise and Lament “It is good to give thanks to the LORD And to sing Psalm 92:1 praises to Your name, O Most High” • Praise is primarily a reciting of the attributes of God and of the acts of God, and then praising God for both. • The first is descriptive praise, the second Two Types of declarative praise. The worshipper rejoices because God is the kind of God he is and Praise because he does the things he does. • This, in turn, promotes greater trust in God, as well as a thankful heart. • Originally, psalms of descriptive praise were intended to be used either as a choral response or perhaps as a solo in the normal round of public or national worship. Descriptive • The most common Hebrew verb used for Praise this kind of praise is hillel. English readers are familiar with it in its imperative form: Hallelu-Yah, “Praise Yah!” • Hymns (e.g., Ps 24; 29; 33; 100; 103; 105; 111; 113-14; 117; 135-36; 145-150) • Enthronement Psalms (e.g., Ps 47; 93; 95-99) • Songs of Zion, including pilgrim psalms (e.g., Five Types of Ps 48; 84; 87; 120-34) Descriptive Praise • Royal Psalms (e.g., Ps 2; 20-21; 45; 72; 89; 101; 110; 132; 144) • Creation psalms (e.g., Ps 8, 19:1-6; 104) • The expression “the Lord reigns” is characteristic of the enthronement psalms. • All passages that speak of a future coming of the Lord to his people or to the earth, or that speak of a future rule of the Lord over Israel or Enthronement the whole earth, are enthronement psalms.

It also describes the Psalter itself, which has hosted so many singers and interpreters, in very many languages and musical styles, in countless synagogues, churches and other gatherings of God’s people, through the thousands of years since the psalms were writ- ten and collected.
