Answer:

The Book of Psalms was compiled throughout several centuries.

Psalms are religious songs and prayers.

The psalms were created by multiple distinct writers including King David and Moses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Book of Psalms holds songs of praise and worship, calls for God’s mercy, and requests of justice.

Book 1 contains Psalms 1 to 41, which were presumably from the southern kingdom of Judah. Psalms 42 to 72 are found in Book 2, and presumably originated in the northern kingdom of Israel.

Book 3 has Psalms 73 to 89, Book 4 has Psalms 90 to 119, and Book 5 has Psalms 120 to 134.
