Basic content of the Psalms:
The Psalms are the largest collection of songs in the Bible. It contains 150 psalms, all written in Hebrew. Or it is divided into 5 volumes in order to correspond to the "Pentateuch" (in order, chapters 1 to 41, 42 to 72, 73 to 89, 90 to 106, and 107 to 150).
According to the titles of some of the chapters, about 100 are from famous figures such as David and Solomon. Some scholars believe that most of the chapters were actually written after David and Solomon, and were first compiled into several small collections of poems. The entire volume was finalized in the 2nd century BC, and became the Jewish canon around that time.
