Psalms for the Soul: the Book of Psalms for Daily Reflection

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters..." The Book of Psalms is one of the Bible's most cherished and widely read books. With 150 poems, songs, and prayers, it expresses the full range of human emotions, from joy and praise to sorrow and lament. Once attributed solely to the biblical King David, it is now believed to reflect Israel's entire history from the period of the Exodus (13th century BCE) to the postexilic restoration (after 600 BCE). The message of the Psalms remains relevant, offering followers of Judaism and Christianity comfort, spiritual guidance, and hope amid their own challenges and struggles. This edition of the Psalms, reprinted complete and unabridged from the Old Testament of the King James Bible, is designed to be a daily devotional with contemplation questions included. Featuring beautiful images and stirring verses, each entry offers a rich source of wisdom and uplifting insight that can motivate the growth of one's faith and lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.
