Psalms, Hymns, vs Spiritual songs

Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are all sung in the praise of God. They have some basic differences depending upon where they have been taken from, their music and words, the instruments accompanying them, etc.

Psalm

Psalms is also called the Book of Psalms. It is a book of the Christian Bible and the Hebrew Bible. The book has 150 poems which have been obtained from the Scriptures. Each poem or song is individually referred to as a Psalm. They are always referred to by verse and chapter. They are usually accompanied by stringed instruments or percussion instruments.

Hymns
Hymns are formal and traditional songs which are sung by the congregation in praise of God in public. Traditional hymns have specific tunes, for example, “Amazing Grace.” For hymns, the music is directed in the Book of Psalms. They have a particular rhythm (8.8.8.8.) Hymns are words or lyrics, and the melodies of the lyrics are interchangeable.

Spiritual Songs
Spiritual songs may be described as the songs which are spontaneous and are inspired by the Holy Spirit itself.
They are also referred to as a type of Psalm. In the Book of Psalms the poems are titled under “song” or “hymn.”
