and Job represent our human self–revelation to God. As we noted at the end of the ‘Morning Blessings’, the conclusion of each of the five ‘books’within the Book of Psalms is marked with a couple of verses in praise of God, a ‘doxology’, and these were also introduced into the morning service to mark the end of the two opening preparatory sections. The texts at the close of the Morning Blessings were taken from Psalm 106:47–48 and Psalm 150:6. Here they are taken from Psalms 89:53 and 72:18–19. Again their presence provides a link between the Psalms, the earliest form of Jewish liturgy, and our own community prayers. 1 Ps 89:53;72:18–19.

The Biblical Book of Psalms is divided up into five separate sections, presumably intended to correspond to the five ‘Books of Moses’, the Torah. The Torah is regarded in Jewish tradition as the direct revelation from God to human beings given through Moses. The second part of the Hebrew Bible, the Prophets, is also understood to be the revealed word of God, but affected by the particular experience and style of the prophet himself. However, the third section of the Hebrew Bible, the ‘Writings’, beginning with the Psalms, is considered to be made up of books that are inspired by the ‘holy spirit’, but are far more works of the human imagination.
