Sep 15, 2021 at 14:44 comment added Bach The book of Psalms is a collections of many different psalms and very diverse, some are hymns of praise, some are of gratitude to Hashem, some are forms of prayer, and some are about repentance and forgiveness, some are messianic and some are asking for revenge on Israel's enemies, some are even about a specific anonymous king and his wealth and splendor, or about a royal marriage involving a Tyrian princess (see psalm 45 for example). But even so, 70 percent of the book of Psalms is suitable for prayer and liturgy even today! That's why it is still so popular even 2500 years later!

Sep 14, 2016 at 20:49 comment added Aigle @DanF Not saying anything,just trying to make things clear.
Sep 14, 2016 at 18:43 comment added DanF Some areas to clarify: 1) "Psalms of David" - Do you mean all the Psalms or just the ones that start with words "A Psalm to David" or "To David, a Psalm"? 2) Last question - who says we can't use them in prayer? As a matter of fact, the majority of our morning prayers includes entire Psalms or verses from various Psalms. Please clarify / edit.
Sep 14, 2016 at 15:21 comment added kouty Good question. The psalms are mainly prayers of David, who was praying for his specific needs, what are we making when we read psalmes
