The Book of Psalms

The Book of Psalms

The Book of Psalms is a collection of religious poems and songs in the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. It is believed to have been written by several authors over many centuries.

Here is an excerpt from Psalm 23, which is one of the most well-known and beloved Psalms:

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

he refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk

through the darkest valley,

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.”
