<font size="3"><u>NOTE</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">: Bible
students through the years - both Jews and non Jews - have seen the
correlation between the 5 books of Moses and the 5 sections of the
Psalms as indicated above. It is both our enrichment and a joy to
read a Psalm a day for five months, and a chapter of Proverbs a day
for the sixth. And then to repeat this for the last half of the year.
It is a marvelous way to start the day off early in the morning.</span></font></p>

<font size="3">Dr. J. Vernon McGee read and taught through the Bible in
a year by alternating an Old Testament Book - reading it completely
through, and then a New Testament Book. We have adapted his plan,
with the innovation of taking Psalms and Proverbs out of the regular
order, and inserting one each day as noted above. Our Reading Guide,
“Through the Bible in a Year” sets this forth, with approximately
3 chapter a day for the alternating books.</font></p>

<font size="3">David wrote approximately half of the book of Psalms,
and Levites with Moses wrote the rest. Samuel and David led the
Levites in using the Psalms for the worship of Israel in the Temple

somewhat depressed mood - but invariably as he meditated on God and
His great mercies - he ended up in victory and praise!</font></p>
