It is a rich collection of poems, hymns, and prayers that express the religious feelings of the Jews throughout many periods of history. With each of its 150 poems (151 in Eastern Christianity) having its own chapter, it has more chapters than any other book of the Bible.The Psalms have played a core part in Jewish and Christian liturgy, and are frequently used for devotion and prayer. Psalters are sometimes sold as their own books apart from the Bible, and some Metrical Psalters have been made to better fit English poetry.Note that some old-fashioned Catholic and Orthodox bibles (being based on the Vulgate and Septuagint) number the Psalms differently than Hebrew-based modern bibles - see this here on Wikipedia for more info. | |

Prayer of Malice | |
| Book of Psalms / int_11efa116 | comment |
Prayer of Malice: Many of the Psalms involve the psalmist praying to God that He punishes his enemies, especially those who persecute and oppress God's people; these are known as the Imprecatory Psalms. | |

Patrick Stewart Speech: Inverted by Psalm 8, which truly marvels at the glory of God and “the work of Your fingers, the moon and stars, which You have set in place,� and wonders, “What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You have taken note of him?� The psalmist then makes clear that everything special about humanity is due to God’s grace. The psalmist then ends as he began by declaring, “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your Name in all the earth!� | |

Loose Canon | |
| Book of Psalms / int_4378c556 | comment |
Loose Canon: Psalm 151, which retells the story of David Versus Goliath. It appears in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of Hebrew Scriptures) and in a fragment in the Dead Sea Scrolls, but not in the accepted Hebrew Masoretic text. So was it part of the original canon that was lost, or a later spurious addition? Naturally enough, its canonicity has a Broken Base: It's accepted as canonical by Orthodox Christians, apocryphal by Roman Catholics and Jews, and not at all by Protestants. | |

I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: The "valley of the shadow of death" from Psalm 23:4 (King James Version). Even the more recent (and, technically, more accurate) translations,note The KJV translators read the Hebrew tzalmavet as tzel ha-mavet ("the shadow of death"), but it's actually a single, unrelated word meaning "deep darkness" such as "the darkest valley" (New Revised Standard Version) or "a valley of deepest darkness" (New Jewish Publication Society) suggest this trope. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Book of Psalms / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: According to Christians, Psalm 22 foretells the crucifixion of Christ. Christ while suffering on the cross cries out the opening line, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?� It then foretells how the Pharisees mocked him while he was on the cross and that Roman soldiers would cast lots for his garments. | |

Divine Right of Kings | |
| Book of Psalms / int_a1a38c5d | comment |
Divine Right of Kings: Psalm 2 is considered this kind of psalm for the kings of Judah (particularly "You are My son; today I have begotten you") while standard Christian interpretation states that it also refers to Jesus Christ's coming reign over all creation at His Second Coming. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Book of Psalms / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Most of Psalm 137 is a beautiful, haunting lament of the loss of Jerusalem and the tragedy of the Hebrews made captive in Babylon. Then the second-to-last verse promises that God will exact terrible revenge upon the Babylonians, before the last verse then promises that Babylon's armies will brutally kill all of their children by smashing them against rocks. Unsurprisingly, most of the many musical adaptations of this psalm omit the last line. | |

Lost in Translation: Several of the psalmsnote specifically, Psalms 25, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119, and 145 are acrostic poems, with the first letter of each successive line spelling out the Hebrew alphabet in order. Naturally, this doesn't usually come across in translations to other languages. | |

Rape, Pillage, and Burn: In the type of psalms mentioned above, the psalmist mentions the destruction of enemy nations, including their civilians. One particularly jarring example is Psalm 137, mentioned above, where the psalmist curses the women and children of Babylon to be killed by Babylon's own enemies in war. | |

Pre-Violence Laughter | |

Pre-Violence Laughter: In Psalm 2, verses 4 to 6 states to the kings of the earth amassed against the Lord and His anointed king: "He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord ridicules them. Then He will speak to them in His wrath and terrify them in His burning anger: 'I have installed My king on Zion, My holy hill.'" However, it is not God that commits the violence against the kings, but rather His anointed king, as verse 9 states: "You will break them with a scepter of iron; you will dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel." | |

To the Tune of... | |
| Book of Psalms / int_d6fce880 | comment |
To the Tune of...: Many of the psalms have introductory lines indicating that they were possibly set to preexisting music; the titles "Do Not Destroy", "The Doe in the Morning", "Upon Lilies" and others each appear several times. Unfortunately, what exactly those tunes would have sounded like is lost to history. (The wording of the instructions is also a bit ambiguous, leading some scholars to believe they were more performance instructions or modes than specific melodies.) | |

Department of Redundancy Department: The form of Hebrew poetry used in most of the psalms is called "parallelism," meaning that rather than rhyming single words with similar sounds, the same idea is repeated in similar ways. note In some cases the same idea is expressed with different words, sometimes with more detail, and sometimes by contrasting the original thought with an opposite one. One characteristic example: | |
