Introduction

This collection of Songs includes songs, poems, chants, and prayers that the Hebrews used in their meditation and worship, and then those eventually got added to this collection. We have chosen not to use the name ‘Psalms’ which comes from the Greek word ‘ψαλμός’ which means ‘a song sung to the harp’, because most English readers don’t even know that meaning. The title ‘Songs’ isn’t perhaps ideal, but does at least suggest that they were sung, read, or chanted with music.

There are many classes of the songs for believers in God: there are songs of praising and worshipping God, there are prayers for requesting help, and of meaning/salvation, requesting of forgiveness, song of thanking of blessing of God, and requests curse their enemies. These prayers all for of each person and for of entire place; the other, migpakita of peg-ealig of person, the other, explained of me it’s necessary and loving of all people of God.

Seven of these songs/poems are acrostic poems, i.e., the first verse starts with the first Hebrew letter (alef) and the second with the second Hebrew letter (beyt), etc. We have chosen to display those Hebrew letters to help the English reader understand that there is that acrostic background to the poem. The seven songs are Song 25, Song 34, Song 37, Song 111, Song 112, the longest Song 119, and Song 145.

Yeshua (Jesus) and other contributors to The Messianic Update (The New Testament) used these songs, and intumpisan e this collection of worshipping of church of believers from the beginning.

The one hundred and fifty songs are divided into five sub-collections.

There are a hundred and fifty songs, poems, and prayers in this collection that were used by the Hebrews in their worship. Used their that of worshipping ran there to most, and there to eglunsud-lunsud just worshipping. The other here, used their of time still of King David, what if he indeed the writer here. And/Now the other, and maybe it’s written at the completion of David’s kingdom. And/Now the that songs and praying, important still today used of worshipping of Hebrew believers. These songs reveal the inner emotions of the person, like anger, egpangkus of happiness, anger, egpangkus of trusting and sorrow egpangkus of hope.
