The word Psalms has deep roots, originating from the Greek word for “song,” and has come to represent a remarkable collection of sacred writings spanning centuries.

Many voices, notably King David, Solomon, Asaph, and Moses, weave their poetry together, reflecting the wide breadth of human experience.
Their poetic genius lies in parallelism and vivid imagery, resonating in local congregations who still chant these verses today.
