Bible Question:
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY DAVID WROTE THE BOOK OF PSALMS? WAS IT BECAUSE OF PAST SINS? WHERE CAN I FIND THE STORY OF DAVID AND BASHEEBA(NOT SURE OF THE SPELLING,THIS IS NEW TO ME) THANKS |
Bible Answer: Charlotte, Steve is quite right in saying that David did not write all 150 of the Psalms, although a considerable number of them are traditionally attributed to this second king of Israel....... The Psalms, known also as the Psalter, is a complilation of fine poetry, often sung, and the body of them is so comprehensive, running the gamut from the deepest remorse and lament to the zenith of joy and praise. I believe we would not go far afield to say that no human emotion is foreign to the Psalms, nor to lay claim that no other body of literature has ever been able to excel their majestic power to touch the human heart. I rest assured that when I am reading the Psalms, I am reading one of the finest pieces of literature the world has ever known. They are an eternal and blessed fountain which never fail to invigorate the spirit, enlighten the mind, lift the heart, and increase our awareness of the enormous love and majesty of our transcendent God. --Hank |
