The Book of Psalms (/sɑː(l)mz/ SAH(L)MZ, /sɔː(l)mz/ SAW(L)MZ; Hebrew: תְּהִלִּים‬ or תהילים‬, Tehillim, “praises”), commonly referred to simply as Psalms or “the Psalms”, is the first book of the Ketuvim (“Writings”), the third section of the Hebrew Bible, and a book of the Christian Old Testament.^[1] The title is derived from the Greek translation, ψαλμοί psalmoi, meaning “instrumental music” and, by extension, “the words accompanying the music.”^[2] The book is an anthology of individual psalms, with 150 in the Jewish and Western Christian tradition and more in the Eastern Christian churches.^[3][4] Many of the psalms are linked to the name of David,^[5] but his authorship is not universally accepted by modern Bible scholars.^[4]
