The Book of Psalms

The history of any people consists of more than the study of the events that have influenced the course of its development. Even more important is the record of the people\’s inner life, its values and aspirations, its views of the good life, its speculation about man and his place in the scheme of things. This is especially true of the Jewish people, whose long and turbulent career has spanned three and a half millennia, as well as six continents.
