Hello there,
In my Bible the Psalms are divided into 5 Books:-
1-41 - The Genesis Book:- concerning man.
The counsels of God, concerning Him. All blessing bound up in obedience (cp. 1:1 with Genesis 1:28).
Obedience is man's tree of life (cp. 1:3 with 2:16). Disobedience brought ruin (cp. Psalm 2 with Genesis 3).
The ruin repaired only by the Son of Man in His atoning work as the seed of the woman (cp. Psalm 8 with Genesis 3:15).
The book concludes with a Benediction and double Amen.
42-72 - The Exodus Book:- concerning Israel, as a nation.
The counsels of God, concerning Israel's ruin, Israel's Redeemer, and Israel's Redemption (Exodus 15:13) Cp. Psalm 68:4 with Exodus 15:3, 'JAH'.
It begins with Israel's cry for deliverance, and ends with Israel's king reigning over the redeemed nation.
The book concludes with a Benediction and double Amen.
73-89 - The Leviticus Book:- concerning the sanctuary.
The counsels of God concerning the Sanctuary in its relation to man, and the Sanctuary in relation to Jehovah.
The Sanctuary, Congregation, Assembly, or Zion, &c., referred to in nearly every Psalm.
The book concludes with a Benediction and double Amen.
90-106 - The Numbers Book:- concerning Israel, and the nations of the earth.
The counsels of God, concerning the Earth, showing that there is no hope of rest for the Earth apart from Jehovah.
Its figures and similes are from the world as a wilderness (cp. the references to mountains, hills, floods, grass, trees, pestilence &C.,).
It begins with the prayer of Moses (the Man of the Wilderness), Psalm 90, and closes with a rehearsal of Israel's rebellions in the wilderness (psalm 106).
Note 'the New Song' for 'all the earth' in Psalm 96:11, where the theme is contained in one sentence which gives an Acrostic, spelling the word, 'Jehovah':
'Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad'.
The book concludes with a Benediction and Amen, Hallelujah.
107-150 - The Deuteronomy Book:- concerning God and His Word.
The counsels of God, concerning His Word, showing that all blessings for Man (Book 1), all blessings for Israel (Book 2), all blessings for the Earth and the Nations (Book 4), are bound up with living on the words of God (Deut. 8:3).
Disobedience to Jehovah's words was the source of Man's sorrows, Israel's dispersion, the Sanctuary's ruin, and Earth's miseries.
Blessing is to come from that Word written on the heart (cp. Jeremiah 31:33-34). Hebrews 8:10-12; Hebrews 10:16-17).
The Living Word (John 1:1) begins His ministry by quoting Deuteronomy 6:13,16; Deuteronomy 8:3 and Deuteronomy 10:20, in Matthew 4:4,7,10.
The book begins with Psalm 107, and in verse 20 we read, 'He sent His Word and healed them', and it concludes with five psalms (one for each of the five books), each Psalm beginning and ending with 'Hallelujah'.
I typed this out from my Bible's introduction to the book of Psalms. I hope you find this interesting, as I did.
Thank you
