The best-loved Psalms of The Old Testament are gathered in this volume and illustrated with a wealth of images from the history of sacred and secular art. Paeans of praise, heart-rending laments, luminous affirmations of faith, consoling words of encouragement the poetic resonance of the Psalms of ancient Israel echoes down the centuries to move and inspire us today. Many of them, like Psalm 23, "The Lord Is My Shepherd," are familiar to believers of many faiths. Some have been set to music, like Luther's version of Psalm 46, "God Is Our Refuge and Strength." All play a vital role in the liturgies of the Jewish and Christian communities.
Clare Haworth-Maden provides a clear, concise introduction to the history of the Psalms and their division into various types of sacred song used in the rituals of the Temple, from the time of Solomon through the life of Christ. We gain new insight into these timeless prayers of-praise, thanksgiving, supplication, prophecy and celebration through this illuminating anthology.
