0 The Book of Psalms is the Bible's song book: 150 songs and prayers, many linked with King David, still sung and prayed by Jews and Christians today. 1 The Psalms hold every feeling — joy and thanks (Psalm 100), trust (Psalm 23, Psalm 46), wonder at being known (Psalm 139), and sad or angry cries of «How long, O Lord?» (Psalm 13). 2 So the Psalms teach a child that you can bring anything to God, even fear or anger, and that honest prayer is not rude prayer. 3 The Book of Proverbs is a collection of short wise sayings, many linked with King Solomon, about everyday life: how we speak, how we work, whom we choose as friends. 4 «A gentle answer turns away wrath» is advice for the playground today: a calm word can stop a fight that a harsh word would start. 5 The Book of Psalms has 150 psalms, which are songs and prayers used in worship by Jews and Christians. 6 Many psalms are linked with King David, who was a shepherd boy before he became king. 7 Psalm 23 begins «The Lord is my shepherd» and pictures God leading, feeding and protecting, even through the darkest valley. 8 Psalm 23 is often read at funerals because Christians find comfort in it that God is with them in hard times. 9 Psalm 100 calls all the earth to «make a joyful noise» and to worship God with gladness and thanks. 12 Psalms of lament are prayers of sorrow or complaint, such as Psalm 13, which asks «How long, O Lord?». 13 The Book of Proverbs is a collection of short wise sayings, many linked with King Solomon. 14 Proverbs 15:1 says «A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger». 16 Proverbs 16:18 says «Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall». ← previous Daniel, Jonah and the prophetsnext → The birth of Jesus↑ back to Religion ethics This page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/religion-ethics/11-psalms-and-proverbs/
