BRAGADAYJAH 1321
Introducing the Book of Psalms
It is with a certain degree of relief that this writer leaves behind the agony and the ecstasy of the sublime story in the book of Job, with its wit and philosophy underpinning the highs and lows in the understanding of the will and purposes, the heart and the mind of God the Supreme Creator and architect of the universe. Leaving those oft troubled and tempestuous sea, its a joy to sail away into calmer more pleasant waters,  and to navigate the more pleasant smoother waters in the book of Psalms. Psalms is of course a Greek translation of what to the Hebrew way of thinking, is a Book of Poems set to music and musical accompaniment. The Hebrews refer to it as Sepher TehIllim or Book of Praises. Some seventy three of them are accredited to King David, twelve to Asaph 50; 73-83, two to King Solomon 72 and 127,  one to Moses 90, one to Ethan 89, twelve to the sons of Korah, a family of LevitIcal singers, 42-49 and 84, 85, 87, 88.  All of these Psalms embrace the theology of what God has done in the past, what He will do in the future, and what he will do at any present time, having due regard to His sovereign power and goodness. Tomorrow God willing, we will present Psalm 1.
