The Books of Psalms and Proverbs provide wisdom for both worship and daily living. Psalms focuses on prayer, praise, and trust in God, while Proverbs offers practical guidance for righteous living. Psalms, largely written by King David and others (1400–500 BC), contains 150 poetic prayers and songs. It includes laments (Psalm 22), praises (Psalm 103), and wisdom psalms (Psalm 1). Themes of God’s sovereignty, faithfulness, and refuge run throughout. Key verses include Psalm 23:1 (“The Lord is my shepherd”) and Psalm 46:10 (“Be still, and know that I am God”). Proverbs, primarily by King Solomon (950–700 BC), is a collection of short, wise sayings. It emphasizes wisdom, integrity, humility, and discipline. The book is structured into instructions (Chapters 1–9), collections of proverbs (Chapters 10–29), and final reflections (Chapters 30–31). Notable verses include Proverbs 1:7 (“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge”) and Proverbs 3:5-6 (“Trust in the Lord with all your heart”). Together, Psalms nurtures the heart in worship, while Proverbs instructs the mind in wisdom, forming a foundation for faith, prayer, and righteous living.
