Psalm 33 -excerpt-

The Book of Psalms comprises 150 ancient Hebrew poems, songs, and prayers from various periods of Israel's history. Seventy-three psalms are attributed to King David, a poet and harpist. Other contributors include Asaph, the sons of Korah, and temple worship leaders, with some psalms remaining anonymous. The Psalms extend beyond a mere hymnbook, encompassing a broad spectrum of emotions and themes such as the sovereignty of God, the anticipation of the Messiah, and mourning in the face of wickedness. They are organized into five distinct books, each with its unique structure and thematic focus, providing a profound wellspring for spiritual contemplation and devotion across the ages.
