The Book of Psalms chapters 1 - 41 records many of King David's prayers, songs, praise for the Lord God, and prophecy regarding the promised Christ. It includes words of belief, hope, love, mercy, peace, and righteousness. David believed what the Lord God said regarding salvation, the future time of resurrection, and the final judgments via the Christ.

This book includes verses translated from the Greek old covenant writing, sometimes referred to as the Septuagint. Additionally, some comparisons to the Hebrew text are provided.
