Psalms
Author: Principally David; also many others
Date: Tenth century B.C. and later
Content: This favorite book of today was also a favorite in antiquity. In it may be seen the many different ways in which believers over several centuries related to God. Every human mood and feeling may be brought to God for him to bless. There are sorrow and joy, anger and calm, doubt and faith, repentance and praise. There are recollections of the past, the struggles of present existence, and visions of a glorious future. In numerous places, God's Messiah, Jesus Christ, is portrayed in his suffering and in his glory. The book of Psalms was used in much the same way as a hymnbook is used today, for public and private worship.
Theme: The book of Psalms teaches principally that God has a personal concern for his people and that he wants us to come to him just as we are. We need not solve our problems before we go to him; we go to him for the solutions. Wherever we are, however we feel, whatever we have done - if we offer ourselves to God, he is willing to help and give us the strength to live again. God's power and control of all things is also seen. Because God is in control of everything, he can help us when we turn to him for deliverance. (Above commentary is from Tyndale Publishers "The One Year Bible Companion" p. 10)

You'll
note
that
in the One Year Bible we actually read through the Psalms twice during
the course of the year. I think this is good because the Psalms have
taken some time to really sink in for me personally. Once they sink in,
they are phenomenal. I have a great friend who has shared with
me that she "Prays the Psalms" every morning. I pray that during the course of this year you will have the experience of Praying
the Psalms as you go through the One Year Bible.
Martin
Luther said this about the book of Psalms: "The Psalter is the
favorite book
of all the saints. Each person, whatever his circumstances may be, finds
in the psalms words which are appropriate to the circumstances in which
he finds himself and meet his needs as adequately as if they were
composed exclusively for his sake, and in such a way that he himself
could not improve on them nor find or desire any better psalms or
words."
A wonderful commentary on the book of Psalms by Bob Deffinbaugh with bible.org is at this link: http://bible.org/seriespage/significance-psalms A quote from Bob at
this link includes: "We cannot read very far in the Psalms without drawing the conclusion that the psalmist seems to have been reading our mail.
How is it that after centuries have passed we find
a man who lived in a different time and culture expressing our innermost
feelings, fears, and hopes? The answer, of course, is that we are reading the
Scriptures, divinely inspired, infallible and inerrant, so as to be a word from God to us."
Proverbs
Author: Principally Solomon; also many others
Date: Tenth century B.C. and later
Content: The book of Proverbs contains practical instructions for successful living, given by God to supplement the teaching of the prophets, which was to call men to repentance, and the work of the priests, which was to direct the worship of the people. The book of Proverbs teaches that there is a divine wisdom given to man by God, but there is also a divinely given human wisdom, or common sense, and both must play a part in daily life. Practical sayings from many centuries are collected together in this book; it deals with such diverse matters as the discipline of children, social justice, foolish talk, and money. It ends significantly with a description of a truly good wife.
Theme: The theme of Proverbs is stated in 1:7 - The first step to wisdom is to trust and revere the Lord. This is to say that only when a man trusts in God will he be truly wise. Human wisdom is fine and necessary but no matter how skilled we might be, without humility in the presence of God and a willingness to learn from him, we will inevitably go astray. The book also teaches the sanctity of human life. Everything that pertains to successful living is a concern to God and he has made provision for it. (Above commentary is from Tyndale Publishers "The One Year Bible Companion" pp. 10-11)

Bob
Deffinbaugh,
Th.M., with http://www.bible.org (please bookmark & visit this website often this year!), has a wonderful Introduction to Proverbs found on this link: http://bible.org/seriespage/introduction-proverbs
I'll quote from Bob's article's 8 points on how we can benefit from a study of the Proverbs - but you'll need to go to the link
above for further details on each of these following points:
1. Proverbs is a book that is concerned with the development of godly character.
2. Proverbs does away with the distinction between the sacred and the secular.
3. Proverbs offers to teach us to be wise.
4. Proverbs teaches us that what is good is also what is right.
5. Proverbs helps us to look at life realistically.
6. Proverbs is as concerned with the process of right thinking as with the product of it.
7. The method of teaching employed in Proverbs is most like the instructional method of Jesus.
8. Proverbs is a key book for obtaining divine guidance.
