According to the dictionary Psalms is “A sacred song or hymn, in particular any of those contained in the Biblical Book of Psalms and used in Christian and Jewish worship.” Psalms are soothing and sometimes if someone is scared they will read a Psalm to calm them down. Psalms are not just meant for soothing. They are important to understand the power and authority of God. Some Psalms are written by David’s son Solomon, but most people know who David is.
Many Psalms are the author of that Psalm asking God for help or thanking God for the help He has given. A common theme in Psalm is Gods power.

Psalms are songs focused on one thing, God. They can be soothing and comforting, but they all have one meaning. The most famous Psalm is Psalm 23.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
