The Book of Psalms: A New Translation, With Explanatory Notes for English Readers (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from The Book of Psalms: A New Translation, With ...)
Excerpt from The Book of Psalms: A New Translation, With Explanatory Notes for English Readers IN deference to the suggestions which he has received from many quarters, the Author has consented to the publication of a popular Edition of his work on the Psalms. The great bulk of the critical matter contained in the original work has been omitted in this; but in other respects little change has been made either in the text or in the notes. It is hoped that in its present form the book may be more accessible to many English readers, and that it will help to the more accurate understanding of this most important portion of Holy Scripture.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
