Psalms
(biblical) A book of the Old Testament of the Bible, and of the Tanakh.
Synonyms: Book of Psalms, Ps. (abbreviation), Pss. (abbreviation)
Each "chapter" of the Book of Psalms is actually an individual psalm — an individual poem or hymn. Thus, when referring to a specifically numbered Psalm, the singular is preferred. For example, the 23rd chapter is referred to as "Psalm 23", and not "Psalms 23."
