Answer 2

The word Psalm means song. There are 2 different types of Psalms in the Bible; the praise Psalms and the prayer Psalms. The Book of Psalms was used by those worshipping in the ancient temple in Jerusalem. The majority of Psalms were either written by King David or his son King Solomon. They were written around 500- 1500 BC.Other authors of the Psalms include Korah -and/or his sons- Moses and Asaph, while some authors/coauthors remain anonymous. Some possible compilers of the Psalms include Hezekiah, Josiah, Ezra and Nehemiah

Answer 3

The reason that the psalms were written was to provide poetry for the expression of praise, worship and confession to God.
David wrote 73 psalms.
Asaph wrote 12 psalms.
The sons of Korah wrote 9 psalms.
Solomon wrote 2 psalms.
Ethan and Moses each wrote one psalm.
51 psalms are anonomous
They were written between the time of Moses (approximately 1440 BC.) and the Babylonian captivity (586 BC.)
For the most part, the psalms were not intended to be narrations of historical events. However, they often parallel events in history, such as David's flight from Saul and his sin with Bathsheba.
They were written to express
1. Praise
2. God's power
3. Forgiveness
4. Thankfulness
5. Trust

Answer 5

~What is a psalm

It is one of the Jewish "hymns"; most (if not all) of them are written as poems. In English poetry (and hymns) often have the end word of the lines rhyme. Jewish method is mostly to have the ame idea repeated in two different ways. That is why many of the Psalms will seem quite repetitious (1st line, 2nd line; 3rd line, 4th line; etc.)

~What were they written

Question isn't clear!

~Who wrote them

Mostly King David ... but read the heading of each of the Psalms, usually it tells who wrote it and even includes directions to the leader

~Are there differnet types of psalms

yes.

~What are the different types of psalms?

Several different groupings;
eg. passover Hallel psalms
Psalms to be sung as ascending the hill to the Temple
imprecatory psalms
etc.

==========================

Note that some (many, all) of the Psalms express the feelings of the people. Be very careful in basing doctrine on how people feel and how they express it. Though ou can learn how the people if Israel understood things. eg. Psalm 1:12 ... "restore to me the joy of Thy salvation". The Psalmist realised that he lost the "joy" of salvation. Of whose salvation? It wasn't something he had worked for or earned; it was God's Salvation, for God arranged it, God offered it. He asked God to restore the joy which he had felt but had lost. Perhaps not to form Doctrine; but to learn how the Psalmist felt.

Answer 6

A psalm is a song/poem written to praise the Lord In the Book of Psalms about half were written by David Some other psalmists(a person that writes palams) were the SOns of Korah, Ethan, and Asaph.

Some psalms describe God's glory or give Him thanks or they cry out to God for help Some ask God to deliver them and some ask God to curse their enimies Many are a mixture of two or more of these

THE book of Psalms was the inspired songbook of true worshipers of Jehovah in ancient times, a collection of 150 sacred songs, or psalms, set to music and arranged for the public worship of Jehovah God in his temple at Jerusalem. These psalms are songs of praise to Jehovah, and not only that, they also contain prayers of supplication for mercy and help, as well as expressions of trust and confidence. They abound with thanksgivings and exultations and with exclamations of great, yes, superlative, joy. Some are recapitulations of history, contemplating Jehovah’s loving-kindness and his great deeds. They are packed with prophecies, many of which have had remarkable fulfillments. They contain much instruction that is beneficial and upbuilding, all of it clothed in lofty language and imagery that stirs the reader to the very depths. The psalms are a sumptuous spiritual meal, beautifully prepared and spread invitingly before us.

2 What is the significance of the book’s title, and who wrote the Psalms? In the Hebrew Bible, the book is called Se′pher Tehil·lim′, meaning “Book of Praises,” or simply Tehil·lim′, that is, “Praises.” This is the plural form of Tehil·lah′, meaning “A Praise” or “Song of Praise,” found in the superscription of Psalm 145. The name “Praises” is most appropriate, as the book highlights praise to Jehovah. The title “Psalms” comes from the Greek Septuagint, which used the word Psal·moi′, denoting songs sung with a musical accompaniment. The word is also found at a number of places in the Christian Greek Scriptures, such as at Luke 20:42 and Acts 1:20. A psalm is a sacred song or poem used in the praise and worship of God.

3 Many of the psalms have headings, or superscriptions, and these often name the writer. Seventy-three headings bear the name of David, “the pleasant one of the melodies of Israel.” (2 Sam. 23:1) No doubt Psalms 2, 72, and 95 were also written by David. (See Acts 4:25, Psalm 72:20, and Hebrews 4:7.) Additionally, Psalms 10 and 71 appear to be a continuation of Psalms 9 and 70 respectively and therefore may be attributed to David. Twelve psalms are ascribed to Asaph, evidently denoting the house of Asaph, as some of these speak of events later than Asaph’s day. (Ps. 79; 80; 1 Chron. 16:4, 5, 7; Ezra 2:41) Eleven psalms are directly attributed to the sons of Korah. (1 Chron. 6:31-38) Psalm 43 appears to be a continuation of Psalm 42, and therefore it may also be attributed to the sons of Korah. In addition to mentioning “the sons of Korah,” Psalm 88 also accredits Heman in its superscription, and Psalm 89 names Ethan as the writer. Psalm 90 is attributed to Moses, and Psalm 91 is probably Moses’ as well. Psalm 127 is Solomon’s. Over two thirds of the psalms are thus ascribed to various writers.

Answer 8

Wow, Well they are divided into 5 "books"
Various Authors including David, Sons of Korah and Moses
Written from Moses time till the Exile time
