Excerpt from The Psalms Chronologically Arranged an Amended Version: With Historical Introductions, and Explanatory Notes
The Editors believe that much force will be added to the moral and religious lessons of the Psalter by an examination of the time and circumstances in which the several Psalms were written; that much light will be gained from an endeavour to attain the point of view of the writers, and that each Psalm so looked at will in most cases tell its own tale. They believe also that the spiritual meaning, though it may appear for a moment obscured, will in the end come out all the more fully from this historical treatment.
For the common arrangement of the Psalms into five books and for the order of these books no principle has been discovered which commands anything like general assent or which even claims to throw any light upon the meaning of the Psalms; nor does the difficulty of rearranging them with reference to their several times and occasions appear insuperable.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reorganizes the Psalms of David chronologically, arranging them by when they were written rather than by book or topic, placing them within their historical and literary context. The Psalms selected here are attributed to King David, the founder of the Hebrew monarchy, who is regarded as the founder of the Hebrew Psalter. This book seeks to recreate David's 'true' Psalter, illuminating 17 Psalms that bear the impress of his 'wonderful character' and his 'surpassing grace'. These Psalms reveal the many sides of David, the rich complexity of his thought, and the creative power which gave such facile expression to his ideas. They are Psalms of comfort and praise, of lamentation and grief, of sternness and tenderness, of majesty and power, of royal authority and prophetic insight â" all marked by the imagery of the King's adventurous life. The 104 Psalms not attributed to David are mentioned briefly, but the focus of this volume is on those few that bear the mark of David's authorship, which the author believes are a 'key to understanding the full range of emotion and experience expressed in the Psalter'. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330956885_0
