THE PSALMS

I. _The Collection and Divisions:_

In all probability the book of one hundred and fifty psalms, as it now
stands, was compiled by Ezra about 450 B.C.

They are divided into five books, each closing with a benediction,

in Books 1 and 2.

II. _The Purposes:_

1. They were originally used as songs in the Jewish Temple Worship.
