Psalm 11

The Book of Psalms is a collection of 150 ancient Hebrew poems, songs, and prayers. These compositions come from different eras in Israel’s history. Seventy-three of the psalms are connected to King David, who was both a poet and a harp player. Other authors include Asaph, the sons of Korah, and worship leaders in the temple. Some psalms are anonymous. The book of Psalms is not just a hymnbook; it expresses a wide range of emotions and themes, including God as King, hope for the Messiah, and lament in response to evil. The Psalms are divided into five books, each with its own structure and message. They serve as a rich source of spiritual reflection and worship for believers throughout history.
