A frequently asked question: The Psalms aren't in numerical order in this Psalter. Why is that? Answer: That was done intentionally. This edition of the Psalter was created for prayer, at home or in church, rather than for reference. It's not just another Book of Psalms.

Summarized from the Encyclopedia Britannica: “Letter of Paul to the Ephesians, also called Epistle of St. Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians, (abbreviated Ephesians), is the tenth book of the New Testament…thought to have been composed by St. Paul the Apostle in prison....“ The letter declares that the Christian mystery (gospel) of salvation, first revealed to the Apostles, is the source of true wisdom (perhaps an indirect repudiation of Gnostic claims to esoteric knowledge of the supernatural) and that salvation through Christ is offered to Jews and Gentiles alike.
