Publisher's Synopsis
The Whole Book of Psalms: Collected into English Metre is a book of religious songs and poems, originally written in Hebrew and translated into English by Thomas Sternhold in 1562. This particular edition was published in 1836 and features a collection of all 150 psalms, each translated into English verse for singing in Christian worship. The book is organized by psalm number and includes a preface explaining the history and purpose of the psalms. The language used in the translations is archaic, reflecting the style of English used in the 16th century. The book is intended for use by religious congregations and individuals seeking to incorporate traditional Christian hymns into their worship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
