Psalms

This keepsake edition of The Book of Psalms was taken from the King James translation of the Bible. The King James Translation is a masterwork of style, and the most important book in the English language, it has been the driving force in shaping the English-speaking world for hundreds of years.
The Book of Psalms was composed over a period of at least five centuries. The majority of Psalms originated in the southern kingdom of Judah and were associated with the Temple in Jerusalem. Most individual psalms involve the praise of God-for his power and beneficence, for his creation of the world, and for his past acts of deliverance for Israel. The psalms envision a world in which everyone and everything will praise God, and God in turn will hear their prayers and respond.
