The Psalter can be described as the songs of sonship because they express all of the facets of Israel's life and relationship with God as His unique covenant son. Composed over a thousand years, the psalms became Israel's worship songbook during the Second Temple period, and so played an important role in Jesus' growth in the knowledge of His Father, God's purposes for the world through Israel, and His own messianic identity and vocation.
