Overview

Excerpt from A Version of the Psalms of David: By a Lay-Member of the Church of England, the Compiler Also of a Biblical Catechism, and of Family Prayers From the Bible Psalms and From the Liturgy of That Church His invaluable Psalms convey those comforts to others, which they afforded to himself. Composed upon particular occasions, yet designed for general use; delivered out as services for Israelites under the Law, yet no less adapted to the circumstances of Christians under the Gospel; they represent Religion to us in the most engaging dress; com municating truths which Philosophy could never investigate, in a style which Poetry can never equal; while History is made the vehicle of Prophecy, and Creation lends all its charms to paint the Glories of Redemption. Calculated alike to profit and to please, they inform the understanding, elevate the affections, and entertain the imagination. Indited under the Influence of Him, to Whom all hearts are known and all events foreknown, they suit Mankind in all situations, grateful as the, manna which descended from Above, and conformed itself to every palate.-the fairest productions of Human wit, after a few perusals, like gathered flowers, wither in our hands, and lose their fragrancy; but these unfading Plants of Paradise become, as we are accustomed to them, still more and more beautiful; their bloom appears to be daily heightened, fresh odours are emitted, and new sweets extracted from them. He who hath once tasted their excellencies will desire to taste them yet again; and he who tastes them oftenest, will relish them best.
