Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Translation of Buchanan´s Latin Psalms Into English Verse The Psalms are sacred poems, containing the doctrines, precepts, history, and prophecy communicated at greater length by the other parts of the inspired writings of the Old and New Testaments. The Psalms likewise express all the emotions of the pious soul, in great variety of language, suited to every circumstance of human life. They were composed, for the most part, one thousand, and one of them at least, fifteen hundred years, before the birth of Christ, that they might be sung in the worship of God, among the Jews, and they have been used by them, in succeeding generations, in their religious assemblies. They were originally composed in Hebrew verse, and translations of them have been made into many languages, both in prose and verse. They are still sung in Christian assemblies of various nations, in poetical versions, which they understand. A poetical version of them, in English, has for many years been sanctioned by the Church of Scotland, which is remarkable for its fidelity to the original Hebrew, and for the ancient simplicity of its style. Buchanan made a paraphrastic translation of them in Latin verse, in the reign of Queen Mary, in Scotland, to whom it was dedicated, and to whose son, James VI. of Scotland, and I. of England, he was afterwards tutor for many years. He has clothed his paraphrase with the most elegant Latin, and with the most accurate and melodious versification. Every good Latin scholar will, I think, in reading Buchanan´s paraphrases of the Psalms, be filled with delight and admiration, while he deeply feels the interesting and important nature of the subjects, expressed by such beauty and sublimity of style, as may cause the heart to glow with devotion.
