    QUICK STATISTICS ON THE PSALMS

    1. INTRODUCTION
    There are 150 recorded Psalms in the Bible. I say recorded because not every psalm
    that was written, is in the Bible. Only those that the Holy Spirit wanted recorded, is in
    the Bible (1 Kings 4:32 states that Solomon wrote 1005 songs, yet only 1 song and 1
    psalm of his is recorded in the book of Psalms).

    2. THE FIVE BOOKS


    The psalms are divided into “five” books.
    Book I (1) has 41 psalms (1 to 41)
    Book II (2) has 31 psalms (42 to 72)
    Book III (3) has 17 psalms (73 to 89)
    Book IV (4) has 17 psalms (90 to 106)
    Book V (5) has 44 psalms (106 to 150)

    3. THE AUTHORS
    There are 6 known authors. These are authors that the Bible has declared as being
    the author (like Psalm 15 which says “A psalm of David”). These six authors wrote
    100 of the recorded psalms. The authors are:
    Asaph wrote 12 psalms
    David wrote 73 psalms
    Ethan wrote 1 psalm
    Moses wrote 1 psalm
    Solomon wrote 2 psalms
    Sons of Korah wrote 11 psalms
    The remaining 50 psalms have no recorded author. It may be that after exegesis and
    consulting extra-Biblical works, other authors are identified. However, I have listed
    the authors as the Bible has stated them to be.
