Book Description
Excerpt from A Metrical Version of the Hebrew Psalter: With Explanatory Notes The Book of Psalms has very justly been described as "an epitome of the Bible." In it, the great doctrines of the Gospel, and the experience of all believers, in every age, are set forth in the most lively manner, "in words that breathe, and thoughts that burn." It is not surprising, therefore, that this portion of sacred scripture has always attracted a peculiar degree of attention. Yet, there is great reason to fear that the remark of Bishop Horsley is but too well founded, when he says, "Of all the books of the Old Testament, the Book of Psalms is the most universally read, but, I fear, as little as any understood." In proving the mystical and spiritual signification of the Psalms, the same celebrated critic quotes the words of David himself, at the close of his life: "David, the son of Jesse, said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet Psalmist of Israel, said, The Spirit of Jehovah spake by me, and His word was in my tongue." (2 Sam. xxiii. 1, 2.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... wrath refused them aid; Their youth in fiery battle fell, As blooms untimely fade. For maidens came no marriage-day, No nuptial songs awoke; Their priests before the altars bled, And hearts of widows broke. Then God arose, as, cheered by wine, A sleeping warrior starts; With rankling shame to brand His foes He smote their hinder parts. And He rejected Joseph's tent, Nor tribe of Ephraim chose; The tribe of Judah He preferr'd, Where His lov'd Zion rose. His sanctuary there He built, High towering to the skies, And firm upon its deathless base As earth's foundation lies. His servant David then He call'd And from the sheepfold drew, From tending on the new-dropp'd lambs That sucked the parent ewe. To lead God's people, now his flock. New hopes and duties spring; But David strives with hand and heart To reign--a shepherd king. PSALM LXXVIII. HEXAMETER VERSION. EARKEN ye, O my people, attend to the voice of a teacher, And let your ears incline to the words of wisdom I utter. I would speak in a parable truths that belong to the present, Darkest sayings of old with an inner significant meaning, Which we have heard and known, and which our fathers have told us, Treasure entrusted to us that must not be selfishly hidden, But declared to the ages in honour and praise of Jehovah, Telling aloud His strength, His works, and marvellous doings. Therefore did He ordain a perpetual witness in Jacob, And in Israel of old was a statute Divinely appointed, Which He bade our sires explain to the minds of their children; So would the next generation be guards of the sacred tradition, Teaching in turn their sons, who would hand it down as an heirloom; That they, trusting in God, might bear His works in remembrance And keep His commandments, walking in virtue...
