Excerpt from The Psalms, Vol. 1: In Three Collections; Translated With Notes; First Collection (Pss. I-XLI)
The notes require careful study, but, if I may speak from my own experience, they will repay it. They are not designed to save the reader from the trouble of thought, but to stimulate him to independent reflection and enquiries which lie within his reach. They constantly remind me of Bengel's pregnant sentences - and I know no higher praise - which point to a conclusion rather than develop it. The scholar indeed if he is to profit by his teacher's words must share his teacher's labour. The memorable saying in which Heraclitus sums up the method of the Delphian king describes the ideal method of the true master: He neither tells nor hides but gives a sign.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book of 150 Psalms is the outcome of years spent lecturing on Hebrew in Cambridge followed by many more years in a Country Parish. The authorâs task has been to show the leading thought and poetical structure of each Psalm. These Psalms have been chosen for their devotional use by the educated English reader and for such of the Clergy as are not afraid of reverent criticism. The Alphabetical Psalms are studied together so that their whole group of characteristics may be better appreciated. The author shows that, even in prose, I is used of the whole community or nation. He also examines the interchange of the Divine Names, the First Collection being Elohistic, the Second Jehovistic, and the Third again Elohistic, and suggests a reason for this. The authorâs belief that the Psalms, though not all Messianic, will all become in a certain sense a voice of Christ adds to the depth and interest of his commentary.
