The Book of Psalms in Minutes!!

I give an overview on the structure and content of the book of Psalms. The book of Psalms is the nineteenth book of the Old Testament. The Hebrew Bible has three sections: the Law, Prophets, and Writings. The Law contains the first five books of the Old Testament. The Prophets is made up of eight books divided into the Former Prophets and the Latter Prophets. The Writings consists of religious poetry and wisdom literature. Jesus refers to the three-part division of the Hebrew Bible this way: that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled (Luke 24:44), showing that psalms appears in the Writings section. The title, psalms, comes from the Greek translation of the Old Testament, called the Septuagint. The primary use of the book of Psalms during the Old Testament period was in the public corporate worship of Israel. Psalms has rightly been called the “Hymnbook of the Old Testament.”
