Psalms is a book of the Bible. It contains 150 songs, poems, and prayers (psalms) written in praise to God. David is credited to have written 73 of these psalms. However, since 48 Psalms are considered anonymous it is unclear if this is all that he wrote. Other authors were the sons of Korah, Asaph, and Solomon, among others.
The book of Psalms is arranged into five smaller books. This is similar to the structure of the Pentateuch which also contains five books.
| Book one | Psalms 1-41 |
| Book Two | Psalms 42-72 |
| Book Three | Psalms 73-89 |
| Book Four | Psalms 90-106 |
| Book Five | Psalms 107-150 |
