We call this book ordinarily, \u201cThe Psalms of David,\u201d but David did not write them all. A great many of them were written by other people. They were the Psalms of David in the sense that we call the old gospel humn book, \u201cThe Moody and Sankey Hymn Book.\u201d Moody did not write any of the hymns and Sankey only a sprinkling of them, but these men compiled the book. If you go over to Great Britian today you can go to the original publishers of it and say, \u201cI would like to have a copy of the Moody and Sankey Hymn Book,\u201d and they will hand you a book with twelve hundren hymns in it. In the old days this book had only six hundred hymns. It was compiled by them originally, but a great many others have been added from time to time, and today there is this vast collection. We can think of the book of the Psalms of David in the same way.<\/p>\n
