Best Answer

A:

The psalms were meant to be sung, so they tell us more about Jewish worship and belief than about God himself. A discussion in Psalms and Practice (edited by Stephen Breck Reid) defined a psalm as devotional singing, but a singing that goes beyond the song; the psalms preach, teach and pray and are both song and poetry. Some quite early psalms depict God as the chief God in a pantheon of lesser gods - for example Psalm 82, "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods." Others depict him variously as merciful, vengeful and just. Each psalm is different.
