Book Description
Excerpt from The Book of Psalms, Translated Into English Verse The sister arts of poetry and music seem to have been consecrated from their infancy. In the most ancient literature of the world, the most ancient poems were songs of praise. When Moses a second time published the law, immediately before his death, he taught the people a song, to be transmitted to successive generations; and the later prophets and sages of Israel renewed from age to age, the echo of divine minstrelsy. The seer played upon the harp, while future scenes became present to his soul; and the hill of the temple resounded to the psaltery, the cymbal, and the voice of sacred song. In the Book of Psalms we possess at once the lyric poetry of the Jewish nation, and the inspired prayers and praises of holy men of old. The entire collection has commonly been named the Psalms of David, because most of them were the work of that sweet singer of Israel. Many, however, were written by other authors, at various periods between the age of Moses and the return from the captivity; a space of a thousand years. The time at which inscriptions were prefixed to so many of the Psalms, is uncertain; but the circumstance that these inscriptions are not universal, and the arguments which seem to shew the incorrectness of some of them, forbid us to believe that they were added in the days of the authors themselves. Some of them are directions to the master of the music, as well as indications of the writer or occasion; and it is not improbable that in the time of the second temple, all these inscriptions were prepared, the names of the several authors being given, so far as they had been transmitted by special traditions. Of the fifty-one anonymous Psalms, a considerable portion must certainly be ascribed to David. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Book of Psalms: As Translated, Paraphrased, or Imitated by Some of the Most Eminent English Poets Cultivate in its Stead, the divine and falutary Principle of unlimited Kindnefs and Charity. Unconfined Benevolence is, molt certainly the natural Temper of every Man 'tis Man's only proper Temper. It is natural to wifh for the Good-will of all Men, even of Enemies, upon reafonable Terms, and more efpecially when in their Power to injure us 'tis, therefore, e qually natural to bear Good-will to all Men, Enemies not excepted; good-will invariably difplaying itfelf by all fuitable Aets of Kind nefs. Malevolence in all its Forms is Wholly foreign and repugnant to Nature. Nature is a. Law of univerfal Love; and to be with Refpeet to all others, Whatever we can reafonably expeet them to be with regard to us, is one of the molt plain and uncontroverted Maxims of Reafon. 779: End gf the Commandment, of every divine Law natural and revealed, of the Law originally written in the Hearts of Men, and alfo of all Scriptures given by In/jn'ration qf God, is, and mult be, Charity; for God, the original Author of all true Religion, is Love he is infinitely and invariably good; good to all, and peculiarly 0 to the Children of Men. He defireth the De firu&ion of none, but willeth all Men to be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
