Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Book of Psalms To call job a tragedy and Solomon's song a comedy is literary trifling and is confusing. If no better name exists, it were better to rec ognize the new type and to invent a new name. The poetry of the Hebrews is so dif ferent, in respect to even the poetic elements, from other poetry as to require a unique analysis and a unique description, and why not its products? The Hebrews acted as diflerently from Europeans in this as they did in the matter of tense, and as in the case Of the tense, it results in as much confusion to speak Of Hebrew drama. Solomon's song is a single poem or a series of poems grouped into a unity, on the subject of love and would better be called an idyl.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of Psalms: An Introduction What a sensation would be produced in the literary world by such a collection of poetry as is presented in the Book of Psalms, could it come recommended by the attraction of novelty. But the truth is, that, in general, the ear is accustomed to these ad mirable productions, before the mind can comprehend their meaning, or feel their beauty so that, in maturer life, it requires no inconsiderable effort to give them that attention, which is necessary for the reception of the impressions they are adapted to impart. Another obstacle to a proper estimate of the sacred poetry is the very imperfect translation, and wretched arrangement, in which it has been presented to English readers. Let the lover of poetry imagine what impressions he should receive from the odes of Collins or Gray, cut up into fragments like the verses in the common version of the Bible, and he may comprehend What injustice has been done to the Hebrew poets.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetry and the Religion of the Psalms The following pages are devoted to a consideration of the Place of the Psalms in the History and the Religion of the Old Testament, and under that title they were delivered as the Croall Lectures for 1893-04. I have to thank the Trustees for extending to me the time allowed for the publication of the Lectures. The delay has enabled me to return once and again, as I was desirous of doing, in something of the attitude of a critic of my own positions. When one's conclusions do not agree with the current views of those who are regarded as authorities, it becomes him at least not to be rash in the publication of them.

Download or read book A Talk on the Psalms Classic Reprint written by Edward S. Ninde and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Talk on the Psalms As already stated, the poetry of the ancient He brews was lyrical. A lyric poem is the immediate expression of feeling, and feeling is the sphere to which most of the Psalms belong. The Hebrews donot seem to have been familiar with the metre, as it was employed by Homer and other ancient bards; at all events they scarcely ever used it. In Hebrew poetry we find a rhythm of thought rather than words; it addresses itself more to the mind than to the ear. This is the special reason why the Psalms can be translated from Hebrew into English with so little loss of the original beauty and vigor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Varied Beauty of the Psalms These chapters contain the substance of a course of lectures delivered at Temple emanu-el, New York, on Monday morn ings, in the months of November and De cember, 1915. The lectures included i1 lustrative readings from the Psalms and general literature, which probably formed their chief interest, and which are, at most, but alluded to in this little book. In publishing the latter, however, the author hopes he may help point out some of the many beauties of Israel's immortal poetry. When first given, the lectures were heard by a group of loyal and appreciative hear ers, to all of whom the author feels grate ful, and to one of the most faithful and most generous of whom he has taken the liberty of dedicating these pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heart Messages From the Psalms The Psalms have not been at fault. Folks have not communed with them as they are wont to do with later poets. Accustomed to the poetical forms of the last three hundred years, men have often failed to catch the appeal of these lays of antiquity, sung by Hebrews long since dead. Yet in the upheaval of thought and social structure now going on men are turning in every direction for some mes sage for life. Where better seek it than in the great songs of Israel? In an hour like ours it may be that fellowship can be established between those who have lived and have sung of God, and ourselves who need him so sorely. The message of the poet knows neither time, place, nor age. It is marked by a universal characteristic which sets vibrating heart-chords the world over. Translate it from language to language, and it finds a response, if it really is poetry and not merely verse. For poetry sings of the universal experiences of the race, its griefs and joys, its disappointments and aspirations, its loves, its hates, its hopes. It is a soul singing itself out into other souls. The psalmists were poets. So well did they sing that we listen back through the ages, that we may not lose a note. They did not write in rime, but with vigorous terseness and a remarkable power of condensation they put their poetry into rhythm with a balanced symmetry of form and sense. Poetasters and the erudite rejoice in the details of form and structure of these songs of Israel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Way and end of the righteous and wicked. 1 Blest is the man who shuns the place Where sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hate the scoffer's seat: 2 But in the statues of the Lord Has plac'd his chief delight; By day he reads or bears the word, And meditates by night. 3 [He, like a plant of gen'rous kind, By living waters set, Safe from the storm and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.] 4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair Shall his profession shine; While fruits of holiness appear Like clusters on the vine. 5 Not so th' impious and unjust; What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away, like dust, Or chaff before the storm. 6 Sinners in judgments shall not stand Amongst the sons of grace, When Christ, the judge, at his right hand Appoints his saints a place. 7 His eye beholds the path they tread, His heart approves it well; But crooked ways of sinners lead Down to the gates of hell.

Let the lover of poetry imagine what impressions he should receive from the odes of Collins or Gray, cut up into fragments like the verses in the common version of the Bible, and he may comprehend what injustice has been done to the Hebrew poets. The compositions in the Book of Psalms are the productions of various authors and periods, belong to different species of poetry, and possess various degrees of poetic merit. While some of them present the fresh gushes of excited feeling, or the calmer expres sion of the sublimest sentiments, in the boldest lan guage of poetry, others consist only of moral maxims artificially arranged in a sen tentions style, or of elaborate and imitative prayers and praises, prepared for the public worship of God.
