Publisher's Synopsis
A New Metrical Version of the Whole Book of Psalms, by Robert Davidson, presents a fresh approach to the Psalms, aiming for a version that is "more free, plain and harmonious, and more in the language of the New Testament than former translations." Published in 1812, this edition includes various metrical arrangements, making it suitable for diverse musical settings and congregational singing. Davidson's work seeks to make the Psalms accessible and relevant to contemporary Christian worship, bridging the gap between ancient scripture and modern devotional practice. The inclusion of occasional notes and illustrations further enhances the reader's understanding and appreciation of the text. This edition offers a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Psalm translations and the evolution of Christian hymnody.
