It was not written to anyone in particular. The book of psalms is a collection of poems and songs that were used by the Jews of the Old Testament times during worship. Many are traditionally thought to have been written by King David, some by Solomon and others written by unknown authors. Some have instructions (eg 'selah!' - meaning unknown) that are elusive now as to their meaning but nevertheless suggest that the psalms were meant to be sung. Around 158 psalms are known - 150 of which are included in the Old Testament book. Jesus himsef knew the psalms well and even quoted them at times - even when he was dying on the Cross ("my God, my God - why have you forsaken me" - Psalm 22 verse 1). In modern terms, the psalms were a king of Jewish Hymnbook.
The word "psalms" is from the Greek Ψαλμοί (Psalmoi), perhaps meaning "music of the lyre" or "songs sung to a harp".Jews call the Psalms by their Hebrew name, Tehillim. They are prayers to God, of beseeching, seeking, thanksgiving, and contemplation.
