Take a Bible with the Old and New Testament. Lay it on a table and try to open right in the middle of the pages. You will probably open it to the book of Psalms. So what is this book where the words are laid out funny, it says everything twice and always talks about sheep and cups “runneth overing”?
Song Book, Prayer Book and More
Have you ever noticed how music is not just something you hear, it is something you feel? Christmas time “feels” like Christmas partly because of Christmas carols. A scary movie has scary music to make you afraid. When you sing at church, don’t you think about God more?
Well, the Bible book of Psalms is a song book with 150 special songs for ancient Israelites. The book talks about how they felt when they were happy, when they were very sad, when the were upset because the bad guys seemed to be winning and how they prayed to God by themselves and when they worshipped God together.
