The Book of Psalms is a collection of 150 songs and poems written over a long period of time by many authors. Many of these poems were set to music and intended to be sung to the accompaniment of various instruments. They express the heart and essence of humanity, covering a wide range of emotions as well as illustrating the theology and worship of the Israelites over the centuries.

From ancient times, the Psalms have been grouped in five books which are believed to parallel the five books of the Law of Moses. The King James Version of the Psalms is widely regarded as some of the greatest poetry ever written. The Psalms include hymns of praise, of thanksgiving, of lament, of wisdom and liturgy. In both Jewish and Christian faiths, these poems are treasured as prayers that can be adapted for personal use.

The prayers and lessons derived from the Psalms have had a far-reaching effect over the centuries. Now, listeners can revel in the sheer poetry of these classic prayers, beautifully read by Michael York.
