The meaning of this book in Hebrew means praises or songs of praise.
These Psalms were gathered over a long period of time starting from the days of Moses and extending to the Postexilic time of the Second Temple.
It is reasonable to associate the early collections of the Psalms with David, King of Israel.
David enjoyed the singing of songs during worship. In future times other kings such as Hezekiah, Asa, Josiah and Solomon continued the use of the Psalms during their reign as kings.
This book differs from Powers of the Psalms as it was written in the 1700's from the Kabbalistic perspective. If you have Power of the Psalms, this is one of the texts that Anna Riva probably referenced as well.
I use this version to get more nuance as well as it contains a bit more psalms related to physical ailments & healing.
The reading and use of these Psalms has become very popular among people of all ages.
