Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Metrical Version of the Psalms Psalms was prepared by a Joint Committee representing the following Churches: (i), The Presbyterian Church in the United Stjites of America;(2), The Presbyterian Church in Canada;(3), The United Presbyterian Church in North America;(4), The Reformed Presbyterian Church (Synod); (5), The Reformed Pres bi:erian Church (General Synod); (6), The Reformed Church in America (Dutch); (7), The Christian Reformed Church in North America;(8), The Associate Presbyterian Church;(9), The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church (South). The Committee took its initial form in 1895, and after being enlarged, it met for organization in Philadelphia, on April 8 th, 1897; but it did not meet for actual work till April, 1900. Since then meetings have been held half-yearly. The Committee have rejoiced in unity of spirit, aim, and method; and they humbly trust that the Spirit of Christ has led to the results now offered to the Churches in Plis name. The following objects have been aimed at: (i), A faithful rendering into English verse of the exact thought of each psalm, and of each part of each psalm. The text of the Revised Version has been followed, but the Hebrew text has been held in view, and it is believed that the renderings here presented are critically correct.(2), The adoption for each psalm of the meter best adapted to the sentiment therein expressed. Consequently, there will be found in this psalter tweny-three meters. This has the further advantage of making accessible for psalm-singing the rich treasury of the Churchs best music, little of which is at present extensively used in connection with the psalter.
