Among the best known and most quoted books of the Old Testament, the Book of Psalms contains some 150 hymns of praise, prayers of crisis, and songs of faith once attributed solely to the Biblical King David. It is now believed that this collection of poems, originally chanted or sung with instrumental accompaniment, reflects Israel's entire history from the period of the exodus (13th century B.C.) to the postexilic restoration (after 600 B.C.), and we cherish them as the expressions of faith of many generations and many peoples. The Book of Psalms is shared by all sections of Judaism and Christianity, and is fundamental to both Christian and Jewish liturgies. Its English translation in the King James Version of the Bible (1611), from which this edition is reprinted complete and unabridged, is an exceptionally beautiful and stirring one, long regarded as a classic of English literature.
As one of the most accessible and beloved parts of the Bible that brings comfort and inspiration to those who read and contemplate them, this edition will include all 150 psalms (KJB) along with a brief devotional/or question for contemplation on how to incorporate the message of the psalm into the reader's life.
This will be a 4 color hardcover that will include peaceful, beautiful photographs throughout, so that it becomes a keepsake book.
"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. Containing a wealth of poems, songs, and prayers, it expresses the full range of human emotion, from joy and praise to sorrow and lament.
