Many psalms were sung.

Answer 2

Many musical words and notes are used in the psalms.

Many psalms were sung.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Psalms" is one of the 66 books in the Bible of the Christian faith. They contain songs or praise and worship which are mostly written by David, the then king of Israel.

The name "Psalm' is derived from a Greek translation, "psalmoi" meaning "instrumental music, or words accompanying the music". The psalms of the Bible are also lyrical songs of praise that can be sung or recited as verses. The presence of musical words, notes and the very nature of the lyrics shows that there are some patterns, rhythm or even meter in the Psalms.
