Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon

Wisdom Literature

This set of books differs so greatly from the historical narratives! Songs, sayings, proverbs, poetry - these are chapters to be savored and contemplated. Just as much as you apply the lessons of history to your walk in the Lord, apply these insights. Make them part of your thoughts, your words, and your actions.

Psalms
This book contains a set of 150 poems which were sung and still are sung in worship. This book is a compilation of five books of poems attributed to David (73), Asaph (12), Moses (1), Solomon (2?)  and the sons of Korah (11). Other psalms do not identify an author. Approximately in the middle of the Bible, Psalms has the longest chapter in the Bible (119) and the shortest (117).

Proverbs
This collection of practical truths about wisdom, moral values, and relationships was likely written mostly by Solomon.

Ecclesiastes
This book in the wisdom literature emphasizes that life without God is meaningless. This book was also most likely written by Solomon

Song of Solomon
This book is a collection of six love songs from a husband to his wife and a wife to her husband. The book celebrates love between a husband and wife. It is also called "Song of Songs" which is the literal Hebrew name.
