Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Psalms: A New Translation With Introductory Essay and Notes It may reasonably be expected that one who has lived in long and close contact with the Psalms as a translator, will contribute some thoughts at the beginning that shall be helpful to their intelligent and appreciative study. The Psalms arc unspeakably precious to all who call upon the one true and living God. This attachment, moreover, is very little, if at all, impaired by the fact that several of them contain much that seems inconsistent with the mild and forgiving spirit of the Gospel, if not absolutely shocking to Christian consciousness. These portions we learn to pass over, as belonging to different conditions and a period of inferior enlightenment, and not intended for us. Or else, going deeper than the words, we cast aside philological trammels, and ingeniously translate them into thought that is not incongruous with our later revelation. In spite of them, we all love the Psalms, and are more and more coming to regard them as of immeasurable importance in the worship of God. What do they contain that has given them this permanent hold upon the hearts of men? What master spirits are these that can touch the deepest and most secret springs of feeling, and have expressed the transports of the soul in all its contact with evil so exquisitely that no other can surpass and supersede them? The work of the translator is a matter of detail and microscopic examination. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
