Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psalter: A Revised Edition of the Scottish Metrical Version of the Psalms With Additional Psalms-Versions; With Accompanying Tunes IN this Psalter the Scottish Metrical Version of the Psalms has been revised. The time, it was believed, had come for attempting to remove the blemishes which mar to some extent that admirable version. As it is now more than two hundred years old, several of its words and phrases, and not a few of its grammatical forms, have become antiquated; while, through the progress of Hebrew scholarship, and the labours of critical expositors, some of its renderings have been shown to be inaccurate. In the present work an attempt has been made to remove these blemishes, by emendations of those portions where there are erroneous renderings, errors of syntax, faulty rhymes, obsolete words, or want of correspondence between the rhythm of sense and the rhythm of sound. While the Old Version, out of regard for the place which it has in the memory and affections of the people, has been very tenderly dealt with, it is hoped that something has been done to make it a more faithful conveyance of the original, and a more suitable vehicle of the Church's praise. The additional psalm-versions give a little more variety of metre than is to be found in the Scottish Version. Great care has been bestowed upon the Music, both in its selection and its preparation. The Tunes, it is believed, will be found good, simple, melodious, sacred in style and associa tion, and suitable for congregational use. It is a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the harmonies that they have been carefully revised by so eminent a musician as Sir Robert Prescott Stewart. In addition to the Tunes strictly so called, a number of Chants have been introduced. These will enable congregations to sing 'many of the Psalms entire, instead of in small portions, and therefore with a fuller understanding of their meaning, and a deeper sense of their impressiveness and beauty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's really going on in the Psalms? Is it just an anthology of old Israelite songs? Or is there more to it than anyone ever guessed? This evergreen classic is the book that first proposed, in 1997, a messianic metanarrative in the Psalms. It explains how someone arranged the Psalms to outline a program of future events like in Zechariah 9-14. There is an appendix of apocalyptic midrashim, translated into English for the first time. A bridegroom-Messiah gathers exiled Israel. He sets up a kingdom, but dies a violent death. Israel are scattered in the wilderness of the nations. Then they are gathered again in troublous times. Finally, they are rescued by a king from the heavens. He sets his throne on Zion and receives the homage of the nations. 160,000 words. Read all about it!

Download or read book Latin Psalter Manuscripts in Trinity College Dublin and the Chester Beatty Library written by Laura Cleaver and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Psalms was at the core of devotional practice in western Christianity throughout the Middle Ages. The study of medieval Latin Psalters provides evidence for the owners, users, and makers of each of these unique books. This volume examines Psalter manuscripts as objects, exploring how they were designed and the changes that have been made to them over time. The choices made about text, decoration, size, and layout in these manuscripts reveal a diverse range of engagements with the Psalms, as they were sung, read, and scrutinized. The book thus sheds new light on some of the treasures of Trinity College Dublin and the Chester Beatty Library. *** Slim in format and heavy in insights, this book is a peculiar hybrid. It is not a robust academic catalogue or a glossy exhibition catalogue or a coffee-table book, but it manages to combine some of the most appealing features of all three. Elegantly designed and richly illustrated in (almost) full colour, it is a pleasure to hold, look at and leaf through. ...a publication that invites an intimate study of Dublin's treasures.Ã?Â?Ã?Â?-- Stella Panayotova, Times Literary Supplement, February 2016 [Subject: History, Irish Studies, Medieval Studies, Religious Studies]

Download or read book Psalms for the Common Era Complete Psalter Anglican Edition written by Adam Carlill and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If the Psalms really are -as we often say - the primary hymnbook of the Church, as they were the primary hymnbook of Jesus, it seems pretty important that we have ways of singing them that involve congregations singing them in ways they can feel at home with. Adam's fresh and lively versions provide just that opportunity, and I hope many churches will want to take advantage of them and spread the word about their availability." Rowan WilliamsEver wanted to sing the psalms but not able to cope with Anglican chant, plain chant or responsorial chant? Here is the answer: an unabridged, faithful rendition of the entire Hebrew Psalter in accessible metrical English.Following the successful publication of Psalms for the Common Era : Complete Psalter Anglican Edition, and in response to clear demand this large print edition provides the same content and the same page numbers so that it can be used in tandem with the standard format edition.The intention of this translation of the psalms is to encourage more people to sing more psalms more often. By choosing hymn tunes from widely-used hymn books, this translation increases the likelihood that some people will sing psalms who otherwise would miss out. Most psalms were meant to be sung and there are several tunes mentioned in the ancient Hebrew titles. These suggest that the tunes existed independently of the psalms, as they do here. The choice of tune for the psalms takes into consideration primarily the structure and metre of the Hebrew psalm, but also the mood and theme. This psalter is unabridged. As such it is intended as a metrical equivalent of the 'Parish Psalter' (Nicholson; The Faith Press: Leighton Buzzard, 1932) and its successors. There are no conflations. Every verse has been rendered so that the richness of the psalter may be experienced in its fulness.Adam Carlill was brought up with one foot in the Methodist Church and the other in the Church of England. He joined the local choir aged eight, and hated singing psalms at Matins and Evensong. However, hatred gradually turned to love. He received his BA in theology at Keble College, Oxford in 1987, before spending a year as the Dean's volunteer at St George's Anglican Cathedral in Jerusalem. He trained for Anglican ministry at Lincoln Theological College and was made deacon in 1990, serving in St Edward's Romford and being ordained priest in 1991. After a second curacy in Uckfield (East Sussex), Adam became Vicar of St George's Tilehurst (Berkshire) in 1998 where he has been serving ever since, becoming Vicar of the neighbouring parish of St Mary Magdalen's Tilehurst a few years later.Adam received his DPhil in Old Testament Theology in 2013 at St Peter's Hall, Oxford, under the supervision of Prof. John Day, subsequently becoming a member of the Society for Old Testament Study. His thesis, 'Cherubim and Seraphim in the Old Testament', was summarised in an article in the Journal for the Study of the Christian Church.For years Adam felt frustrated at not being able to use the psalms in worship more widely, so, in 2015, he decided to do something about it, systematically working through the Hebrew psalter, translating each one into modern metrical English. Three drafts later, and with the help of numerous colleagues with Hebrew and mucial interest, this volume is now offered to congregations, individuals and choirs to use as they see best.The addition of metrical versions of the Christian canticles contained in the Book of Common Prayer in this volume make it ideal for Anglican congregations who wish to maintain the centuries-old practice of daily sung worship, twice a day throughout the year.
