Best Answer

The book of Psalms is generally divided into 5 "books" or divisions. These divisions don't necessarily mean too much since the Psalms were written across several hundred years and the actual order and topics of the Psalms were not maintained in publishing of the current Bibles that are published. The divisions are simply: Book I - Psalms 1-41 Book II - Psalms 42-72 Book III - Psalms 73-89 Book IV - Psalms 90-106 Book V - Psalms 107-150 These are usually printed in most Bibles since it is the traditional way that the book has been divided for some time. Recently scholars have attempted to make headway in dividing the book into more specific categories such as Davidic Psalms, praise and worship Psalms, etc.
