I thought Psalm was translated as "song", not Solomon?



The poem in Hebrew is called Shir hashirim. Shir is a song. Without going into detail about Hebrew grammar, the root of hashirim is shir, so the phrase means Song of Songs.

Psalm in Hebrew is Tehilim, which is what we call sacred hymns/songs/poems. These were written by King David throughout his life. It's quite fascinating to study the psalms in conjuction with the book of Samual (I and II). They give increadible insight into what King David was really like.

The Song of Songs is a Megillah, a sacred scroll, like the Book of Esther.
