About this listen

 The Book of Psalms, often referred to as the Psalms or the Psalter, is a revered collection divided into five distinct sections, each concluding with a doxology. The term comes from the Greek word ψαλμοί (psalmoi), which means instrumental music and extends to the words accompanying the music. Traditionally attributed to King David, these poetic verses have long been central to the prayers and worship of the Christian church, particularly among monks who would chant through the Psalms in a week-long cycle. While many commentaries exist, few are as renowned and widely embraced as that of St. Augustine. This first volume delves into the initial section of Psalms (1 - 36), exploring their depth and significance. - Summary by ancientchristianCopyright Religious Texts and Commentary Christianity Spirituality
