"When the individual lyrics of David and other authors were brought together as one anthology, possibly early as 500 B.C., the Hebrew title given to the anthology was Tehillim, meaning "praise songs". The Greek Septuagint translators gave the title Psalmoi, meaning "songs to the accompaniment of a stringed instrument," and this wsa the Greek title used in the days of Jesus (read Acts 1:20). Thus, our English title Psalms is really an ancient title, even in pronunciation. The term Psalter, by which this book is sometimes called, is derived almost letter for letter from the Greek word for "stringed instrument"
Ok , have I mentioned I can sometimes get competitive? I will beat this silly blog grading system! I already tried to upgrade my blog reading level from Junior High with a list of big words from the dictionary- to no avail!!! So now I am simple cheating by copying out of the oldest book near to me: Jensen's Survey of the Old Testament by Irving L. Jensen. I am now going to go click and see if I have been rated any higher...
