Excerpt from The Psalms and Lamentations, Vol. 1 of 2: Edited, With an Introduction and Notes

The Book of Psalms is recognised as the perfection of lyric poetry. It well may be. The musical meditation which is the essence of lyrics can find no higher field than the devout spirit which at once raises itself to the service of God, and overflows on the various sides of active and contemplative life. There is another reason. One of the chief interests of Hebrew among the world's great literal tures is the uniqueness of its verse system, founded less on verbal rhythm than on parallelism of whole expressions. In other languages, burdened as they are with versification of counted syllables and measured vowel sounds, the har monious intricacies and elastic windings of lyric poetry have to be attained by a triumph of thought over mechan ism: Hebrew poetry carries its lyric rhythm into the very thought itself.
