The Psalms

The book of Psalms (or The Psalter) has been and still is the irreplaceable devotional guide, prayer book, and hymnal of the people of God. The Hebrew title is “the book of praises” (tehillim). So we praise God today and every day.

"In the Psalter you learn about yourself. You find depicted in it all the movements of your soul, all its changes, its ups and downs, its failures and [its] recoveries." St. Athanasius
