The Psalms of David, as written in the Holy Bible, have been
fascinating to Yaqob Tafari Makuannen since he was a young boy. In
this book, The Holy Psalms of David with Commentary by Yaqob Tafari
Makuannen, Yaqob has the honor of presenting the Psalms to the
world with his interpretation. Historically, the Psalms were a
collection of songs sung to King Saul of Israel, who was
overwhelmed by evil spirits. When no one could help the King,
neither physicians nor others, David, the shepherd boy, was brought
to the King's side where he played the harp and sang for him. The
evil spirits left King Saul, and the King was well again. Most of
the Psalms were written by David and were a direct communication to
God. Some were words of praise, adoration, and worship. Some were
pleas to God for help in troubled times. The continuing thread,
however, is the fact that God is the Creator, who will never leave
nor forsake those who are righteous in their thinking -- like
David. Although the Psalms of David were written in ancient times,
the content reflects life today. Yaqob Tafari Makuannen makes that
connection through his commentary. Some of his comments are
explanatory; some are reflective; some are just plain common sense.
Enjoy them. Like David, Yaqob is a singer of songs, and a composer
-- a musician. Yaqob plays the harp, auto-zither, guitar, and
piano. He believes that music, especially with string instruments,
can soothe, heal, and relax one's spirit. His music is
inspirational. In conjunction with this book, Yaqob, a.k.a., Ya
Tafari, has compiled a CD with his original music and vocals, to
accompany these Psalms: 1, 3, 4, 14, 22, 23, 41, 68, 103, 116, 119,
141, and 150. It is entitled The Psalms of David by Ya Tafari. For
