Tehillim Chapters 1-150

For centuries, Jews of all backgrounds have followed this advice of the Zohar to make use of the Book of Tehillim as a source of prayer. Within the 150 Psalms one finds expression of virtually every kind of human emotion – joy, fear, sorrow, pain, anguish, despair, hope, confidence, exhilaration, frustration, yearning, awe, serenity and anxiety. Indeed, Tehillim provides an appropriate prayer for every occasion, feeling and experience. The same book that is the source of the beautiful Hallel service recited on the joyous festivals also contains stirring prayers for times of life-threatening danger. Tehillim thus demonstrates how profoundly one's relationship to the Almighty extends into each and every aspect of life, every experience, and every situation a person confronts.
