Page 4 - Psalms 1 thru 10

Introduction

1
(Excerpts from Believers’ Bible Commentary )

The Psalms are often called “The Psalms

of David,” but only about half (seventy-

three) are directly attributed to the

“sweet singer of Israel.” Twelve are

attributed to Asaph, ten to the sons of

Korah, two to Solomon, and one each to

Moses, Ethan, Heman, and Ezra. Forty-

nine, or nearly one-third, of the Psalms

are anonymous.

The Psalms were written over a period of

about a thousand years, from Moses to

Ezra (about 1400-400 B.C.). However,

most of them were written during the

three hundred years from David to

Hezekiah (about 1000-700 B.C.).
