Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Book of Psalms: Or the Praises of Israel The nature of this new version of the psalms, and its justification in certain permanent wants of the educated reader - How those wants were satisfied in the reformation period and afterwards - Emendation of the text, why and how resorted to - The spirit of the present commentary - The alternative title explained - The divisions of the psalter - The Doxologies or subscriptions - The titles or superscriptions - Ewald´s chronological arrangements - Ewald characterised. Later than I hoped, but sooner than I have sometimes feared, comes this fresh contribution to the study of the Hagiographa; the enforced delay, however painful, may at least have added somewhat to the maturity of the book. I need scarcely say that it would have been impossible to cover the whole subject of the Psalms in a single volume. I made it my object, therefore, to diminish the amount of necessary exposition by bestowing special care on the clearness of the translation, reserving the higher criticism and the consideration of psalm-theology for another occasion. Circumstances led me, uncertain whether I should proceed further, to prepare a translation first, and to accept the offer of my publishers to include it in the Parchment Library. That translation is here repeated, with numerous corrections which do not, I trust, materially affect the style. Where a literary as well as a scholarly standard has been aimed at, it is desirable to exercise caution in alteration. For the friendly reception accorded to my version of 1884 on both sides of the Atlantic, I can but express mingled surprise and gratitude. It confirms me in the belief that the careful but still in many respects somewhat antique Revised Version does not sufficiently reveal to the educated reader the thoughtful, radiant beauty of Hebrew poetry.
