1. 1詩篇作者(教會裡說 the Psalmist,多半指大衛)

    A psalmist is someone who has written a psalm. In church writing, "the Psalmist" with a capital P often means David, the king in the Bible, because so many psalms are tied to his name. You would not normally call a modern songwriter a psalmist unless you were being poetic, or a little grand. It is a quiet, word; you meet it in sermons, notes on the Bible, and history, not in the street.

組成psalm + -ist (a person who does that thing).

同家族的字
