Excerpt from The Holy Bible, According to the Authorized Version, Vol. 2: With Notes, Explanatory and Practical; Taken Principally From the Most Eminent Writers of the United Church of England and Ireland; Together With Appropriate Introductions, Tables, Indexes, Maps, and Plans
The version of the Psalms in our Bible, which was made by the translators employed under King James the First, is posterior to that printed in our Prayer Books, which was executed in 1539. This last, as very excel lent and familiarized by custom, was retained in the Liturgy, though, being translated chiefly from the Greek, with some variation in conformity to the Hebrew, it does not so exactly correspond with the original, as does that in our Bibles.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book contains one hundred and fifty Psalms of David, and other sacred hymns, or songs of praise to the Lord. The Psalms were written by different authors, many of them by David, some before, and some after his time. The subjects discussed in these divine hymns are various. They treat, among other topics, of the creation and government of the world, of the economy of grace, of the transactions of the patriarchs, of the laws and institutions of the Israelites, of the sufferings and victories of David, of the advent of the Messiah, of the conversion of the Gentiles, and of the final triumph of the righteous with their Lord and King. It has been remarked that there is no condition of life in which the Psalms are not applicable, and none in which they may not afford a comfortable and delightful companion. In sorrow they cheer, in prosperity they humble, in temptation they fortify; they animate to devotion, they encourage to virtue, and arm against vice. They contain the noblest strains of piety and devotion, and breathe the purest and most elevated sentiments of morality and religion. They are a rich compendium of divine knowledge, and a perpetual directory for the conduct of life.
