The Psalms Chronologically Arranged an Amended Version: With Historical Introductions, and Explanatory Notes (Classic Reprint)

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.
