The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 21: Psalms The Challoner Revision

by Unknown

"The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 21: Psalms" is an anthology of Hebrew religious hymns from the Old Testament. This collection contains 150 psalms divided into five sections, each ending with a hymn of praise. The psalms span multiple categories: songs of praise, laments, royal psalms, thanksgivings, and wisdom poetry. Many are attributed to King David and other biblical figures, though modern scholars view these attributions symbolically rather than historically. The work's dating remains notoriously difficult, with compositions likely spanning from preexilic to postexilic periods.
