Excerpt from The Psalms of Israel: In Rhymed English Metre
One may well assume that the Psalms as we have them preserve but a selection from a far larger lyrical total: but, with whatever variety of inspirational value, these that remain utter the deepest religious feeling of Israel. Their theme is the yearning of the innermost soul toward the Author of Life. With their universal element of awe and of hope, the genius and grandeur of the greater Psalms furnish an immortal type and pattern for all after hymnody. They lead the choir.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a new translation of the Hebrew Psalms into English verse, a task that has been attempted many times over the centuries. The author acknowledges the long tradition of English Psalters, from the work of John Daye in 1562 to the contributions of Isaac Watts and James Montgomery, and provides a brief history of this literary undertaking. The author's translation is driven by a desire to remain faithful to the original Hebrew while ensuring the accessibility of the Psalms for contemporary readers.

The author recognizes the diversity of inspirational value within the Psalms, acknowledging the need for careful discernment in appropriating some of the more vengeful and barbaric verses. The translation attempts to maintain the antiphonal spirit of the Hebrew chorales, with frequent recurrence of phrases and terms, and recognizes the musical context of the Psalms, considering how they were intended to be sung. The author's translation offers a unique perspective on the Psalms, blending fidelity to the original text with an awareness of the evolving needs of readers across centuries.
