PREFACE. 
 
 MA/AJ 
 
 Accepting the limitations imposed by the rigid structure of the AngHcan 
 Chant, and indeed by music itself as an art, advance must at present be looked 
 for, in the Editor '$; opinion, along the line of careful, accurate, and graphic 
 presentation, so far as is attainable, of the meaning and teaching of the Psahns, 
 not merely by seeking to improve any recognised system of pointing, as applied 
 to single verses, but by such further and more important aids as the grouping of 
 verses according to subject and feeling ; the selection of appropriate Chants, 
 Single, Double, Triple, Quadruple ; the provision of Special Settings, and such 
 like ; regard being had to the construction and character of each Psalm or 
 group of verses. 
 
 As examples of Psalms for which Single Chants are suitable, may be 
 mentioned Psalms 8, 15, 30, 67. Among the Psalms for which Double Chants 
 are suitable, mav be mentioned Psalms 3, 24, 38, 74. Triple Chants are suitable 
 for Psalms 2, 39^ 41, 76, 77, 96, 97, 137, 146, as well as for Psalms 1 and 98, when 
 re-arranged. As suitable for special treatment may be mentioned Psalms 18, 
 68, 78, 104, 105, 106, 107. Many, indeed most, of the Psalms can be equally 
 well rendered musically by Single Chants as by Double. For the Gloria Patri, 
 which is not to be looked upon as any part of the Psalm which it follows, either 
 a Single or a Double Chant can be used. 
 
 It will be found best to assign each Chant, whenever such an arrangement 
 is practicable, to a whole Psalm, or a considerable section of a Psalm, in many 
 instances comprising more than one subordinate gi-oup of verses, leavino^ it to 
 the Organist and the Choir to give suitable expression to the several verses or 
 subordinate groups within the Psalm or section, by means of renderings (which 
 can be varied almost indefinitely, according to taste and musical skill), adapted 
 to the changes and alternations of subject and feeling, which are often almost 
 inextricably interwoven, and often succeed each other very rapidly. 
 
 In view of the reliance which must naturally and necessarily be placed upon 
 the taste and skill of the Organist, the Choirmaster, and the Choir itself, it has 
 been thought sufficient to insert at the beginning of each group of verses, of 
 whatever length, a mark (7;, mf, f, ff) suggestive of the musical expression 
 proper to it in general, without specifying more precisely, except when strong 
 contrasts seem to call for it, the mode of dealing with each verse in the group. 
 It is felt that while it is well to indicate general expression, to go too much into 
 detail, even if it could be fully and satisfactorily carried out. might induce a 
 fatiguing sense of restlessness, and tend to weaken, rather than enhance, the 
 advantages of the system of grouping. 
 
 The two main difficulties in chanting, it will be admitted, consist, first, in 
 securing the deliberate and audible enunciation of the words which go to the 
 recitation-note, and. second, in connecting smoothly the free recitation with the 
 rhythmical part of the Chant. 
 
 With regard to the former difficulty, in order to obviate all need of hurry in 
 recitation, and indeed to prevent it, if possible, the words which go to the 
 
 084 
 
iv PREFACE. 
 
 recitation-note have been divided by means of asterisks into phrases which 
 can reasonably be taken in one breath. At the asterisk, wherever it occurs, a 
 shght break should be made. The one stop retained in the body of the text is 
 the comma, and that only in places where the construction of the sentence, 
 and the expression of its meaning, require that its several divisions should 
 be marked. Breath can be taken, if necessary, at any comma. 
 
 Pimctuation should not be observed in a slavish, stilted, pedantic fashion, 
 but as an intelligent reader would observe it, letting the observance be 
 perceptible by the audience, but not obtruding it upon their notice. 
 
 With regard to the latter difficulty, the principle has been followed of inter- 
 posing between the free recitation and the rhythmical part of the Chant an 
 initial bar (or, as Dr. Elvey calls it, an "imaginary" bar), which practically, 
 however, is the first bar in the mediation or the cadence of the Chant. 
 
 1. If there is only one syllable in the initial bar, a semibreve is placed over 
 it, to show that it should occupy the whole of the bar ; e.g. — 
 
 Psalm xcv. 1. 
 
 come, let us sing I unto • the I Lord : 
 
 2. If there are two syllables in the initial bar, there are placed over them 
 either, 
 
 (a) two minims ; or 
 
 (6) a dotted minim and a crotchet ; or, 
 
 (c) a crotchet and a dotted minim ; e.g. — 
 
 (a) Psalm xv. 7. 
 
 Wh8-so I doeth • these I things : 
 
 (b) Psalm xcv. 4. 
 
 In his hand are all the c^rn-^rs I of the I earth : 
 
 (c) Psalm cxlii. 7. 
 
 Consid-er* I my com- 1 -plaint : 
 
 3. If there are three syllables in the initial bar, there are placed over them 
 either, 
 
 (a) a triplet of minims ; or, 
 
 {b) a minim and two crotchets (or their equivalent) ; or, 
 
 (c) two crotchets (or their equivalent and a minim ; or, 
 
 {d) a minim between two crotchets ; e.g. — 
 
 (a) Psalm xcv. 6. 
 
 come, let us w^r-shfp f(nd I fall I down : 
 {b) Psalm xcv. 1. 
 
 let us heartily rejoice in the I strengtli of I our sal-l-vation. 
 
PRE FA CE. 
 
 (c) Psalm xcv. 5. 
 
 The s^a fs hfs, I and he I made it : 
 {d) Psalm xcv. 5. 
 
 and his h^nds pre- 1 -pared • the I dry I land. 
 
 4. If there are four syllables in the initial bar, there are placed over them 
 four crotchets, or their equivalent value ; e.rj. — 
 
 (rt) Te Deum. 4. 
 
 To thee Ch^r-ub-im and I Ser-aph-l-im : 
 lb) Psalm il 1. 
 
 Why do the heathen so fu-rf-ous-ly I rage to-l-gether : 
 (c; Psalm xix. 4. 
 
 and their words in-to the I ends I of the I world. 
 
 (d) Psalm xii. 2. 
 
 They talk of vanity ev-er-y one I with his I neighbour : 
 
 5. In the rare cases in which there are five syllables in the initial bar, there 
 is placed over them the equivalent of four crotchets — viz., either, 
 
 {a a triplet of crotchets and two crotchets (or their equivalent ; or, 
 
 (6) two crotchets (or their equivalent) and a triplet of crotchets ; e.g. — 
 
 (a) Psalm cxviii. 18. 
 
 The Lord hath chast-en-ed and* cor-l-rect-ed | me : 
 ib) Psalm lxix. 20. 
 
 mine ad-ver-sar-ies are I all in I thy I sight. 
 
 6. It should be noted that when the first note in the initial bar is a crotchet, it 
 should be touched as h^^itl.v as possible, and not dwelt upon at all, any more 
 than one would dwell upon the first crotchet in a bar of Common Time. Its 
 position in the bar gives it the required emphasis. To dweU on the first 
 crotchet in fuch cases invariably and indeed inevitably causes a deplorable 
 huddhng toi^ether of the remaining syllables in the bar. 
 
 7. It is of the utmost importance, for the sake of smoothness in chanting, 
 that no break or pause should occur between the words which belong to the 
 recitation-note and those in the initial bar, unless circumstances demand it, as 
 is sometimes the case ; e.g. — 
 
 Psalm l. 22. 
 
 consider this, ye' that for- 1 -get I God : 
 
 8. AVhen a verse or half-verse begins with the initial bar, it is evident that 
 there is no recitation, but that the rhythmical music begins at once ; e.g. — 
 
 Psalm cxxxii. 1. 
 
 L^rd," re-l-niem-l»er I David : 
 
^ PREFACE. 
 
 Should the initial bar contain, by the necessity' of the case, one syllable only, 
 such as in ordinary recitation would be unaccented, care must be taken to give 
 it as little stress and prominence as possible ; e.g. — 
 
 Psalm cxix. 106. 
 
 to I keep thy I right-eous I judgments. 
 
 9. A hyphen (or dot) is placed between syllables belonging to the initial bar, 
 and the second (or third) bar in the rhythmical music, to make it clear to which 
 note or notes the syllables should go ; e.g. — 
 
 Psalm xlv. 15. 
 
 I raiment • of I needlework : not I rai-ment of I needlework : 
 
 10. Horizontal lines show that the preceding syllable should be continued 
 for the space indicated ; e.g. — 
 
 Psalm cxvii. 2. 
 
 Praise I — I — the I Lord. 
 
 With reference to the foregoing rules, it must be remembered that written 
 signs in their very nature indicate but imperfectly the expressive elasticity 
 which intelligence and feeling demand. They are too often applied and 
 observed with a dull mechanical precision, which in all music, especially in 
 chanting, where free recitation is closely combined with strict rhythm, is fatal 
 to proper and pleasing effect. In truth, the arts, both of pointing and chanting, 
 like other arts, 'if they are to be perfected, must be exercised " with brains." 
 
 Great care has been taken to make the task of chanting as easy as may be. 
 At the same time, the Editor cannot but point out that ease in performance is not 
 the first or the only object to be aimed at. Intelligent, expressive, and reverent 
 chanting is what should be sought after, and as far as possible attained. 
 
 It will be observed that both verses and half- verses begin with separate lines. 
 
 By almost universal custom, whole verses are taken by Decani and Cantoris 
 alternately. 
 
 Certain Psalms have been specified as requiring Triple Chants for their 
 adequate nuisical interpretation. It will probably be found most satisfactory to 
 assign each group of three verses to Decani and Cantoris respectively. 
 
 In many Psalms, when the parallel or the antithesis occurs between the two 
 halves of one verse, the assignment of each separate half to Decani and 
 Cantoris respectively would bring out correspondences and contrasts mo»t 
 vividly. This arrangement, however, is suggested as an alternative only, and 
 that in the more obvious cases. If preferred, it may be dispensed with, and the 
 ordinary method be adhered to. 
 
 It cannot be expected that everyone will agi'ee, in every case, with the 
 conclusions at which the Editor has arrived with respect to the several matters 
 touched upon in this Preface, points which leave room, many of them, for 
 legitimate variety of opinion, and are extremely difVieult to decide, after the 
 most thonghtful and even anxious deliberation. But the Editor trusts that this 
 Psalter may be regarded as a careful and considerate contribution towards the 
 advancement of a progressive sacred art, which should be studied and practised, 
 not by the few only, but by the many. 
 
BRIEF NOTES ON THE PSALTER. 
 
 The Version of the Psalms is that set forth by the General Convention of 1892. 
 
 The 150 Psalms comprised in the Psalter are in the Hebrew Bible divided 
 into five Books, the close of each of the first four Books being marked by a 
 Doxology. Psalm 150 may be regarded as the Doxology which marks the 
 close of the fifth Book, and of the whole Psalter. 
 
 Book I. contains Psalms 1-41 (41) ; Book II., Psalms 42-72 (31) ; Book III., 
 Psalms 73-89 (17) ; Book IV., Psahns 90-106 (17) ; Book V., Psalms 107-150 (44). 
 
 The Psalter, as we know it, is evidently a compilation, made up of smaller 
 collections. 
 
 It is generally held that there are in the Psalter at least three principal 
 collections. 
 
 The earliest collection consists of the forty-one Psalms which are contained 
 in the first Book, " few of which," ssljs Bishop Perowne, " can be certainly 
 assumed to be later than the time of David." It is conjectm-ed that this 
 collection was originally made by Solomon, or under his direction, and may 
 have received a few additions at a later period. 
 
 The second collection consists of the forty-eight Psalms which are contained 
 in the second and third Books, a collection not completed, it is supposed, until 
 the time of Hezekiah, who reigned some 300 years after Solomon. These Psalms 
 mainly belong to what is usually called the middle period of Hebrew poetry. 
 
 The third collection consists of the sixty-one Psalms which are contained in 
 the fom'th and fifth Books. Most of these Psalms were probably written during 
 or after the Captivity. They were added to the Psalter, it is generally thought, 
 in the times of Ezra and Nehemiah, 300 years after the days of Hezekiah, and 
 little more than 400 years B.C., the gradual formation of the whole Psalter thus 
 extending over some six centuries. 
 
 Incorporated in these three principal collections are found various minor 
 groups of Psalms. Of the forty-one Psalms in the first Book, thirty-seven 
 bear the name of David. In the second Book there is a series of eighteen 
 Davidic Psalms, supplementary to the longer series in the first Book. The 
 second Book also contains a series of seven Psalms which bear the name of the 
 " Sons of Korah," one of the three Levitical Temple Choirs. The chief of 
 the " Sons of Korah" in the time of David was Heman, to whom the 88th 
 Psalm is specially ascribed. Heman was one of David's three principal 
 singers, and is said to be descended (see I. Chr. vi. 33-38) from Kohath 
 the second son of Levi. One Psalm in the second Book, Psalm 50, is ascribed 
 to Asaph, the foremost of David's three principal singers, who is said to be 
 descended {see I. Chr. vi. 39-43) from Gershom, the eldest of the three sons of 
 Levi. In the third Book there is a series of eleven Psahns which bear the 
 name of Asaph, and a short series of four ascribed to the " Sons of Korah," sup- 
 plementary to the longer series in the second Book. There is also one Psalm, 
 
viii BRIEF NOTES OX THE PSALTER, 
 
 Psalm 89, which bears the name of Ethan, the third of David's three principal 
 singers. Ethan, called also Jeduthun (sec I. Chr. xxv. 1, 3, and the titles of 
 Psalms 39, 62, 77), is said to be descended {see I. Chr. vi. 44-47) from Merari, 
 the youngest son of Levi. In the fourth Book there is a series of ten anonymous 
 Psalms, mostly liturgical. In the fifth Book is incorporated the series of fifteen 
 "Songs of Degrees" (or "Ascents" or "Goings up"), or "Pilgrim songs," 
 Psalms 120-134, and a group of Psalms evidently intended for use in the Temyle 
 worship, in most of which " Hallelujah " occurs either at the beginning or the 
 end. Psalms 113-118 constitute "The Hallel " which was sung at the three 
 great Feasts, at the Feast of Dedication, and at the New Moon. In the fifth 
 Book there are 28 anonymous Psalms. 
 
 The titles of the Psalms, which are taken from the Hebrew Bible, relate 
 either to the authorship, the historical circumstances, the purpose, the musical 
 accompaniment, or the liturgical character of the Psalm ; but they cannot be 
 regarded as being of any necessary authority, and in many instances, especially 
 with reject to authorship and historical circumstances, are of doubtful 
 traditional value. Out of the 150 Psahns, seventy-three bear in the title the 
 name of David, twenty-four those of David's Levitical singers, two (Psalms 72 
 and 127) that of Solomon, one (Psalm 90) that of Moses, while fifty Psalms, 
 one-third of the whole, are anonymous. 
 
 The word " Psalm " means a song sung to a musical accompaniment, but 
 into the debatable subject of Hebrew music this is not the place to enter. 
 
 There are in the Psalter 7 Acrostic or Alphabetical Psalms (or 9, if we include 
 Psalms 9 and 10, in which there is a trace of the alphabetical arrangement). 
 These are Psalms 25, 34, 37, 111, 112, 119 (the most perfect example), and 145. 
 In these Psalms the first lino or verse or portion begins with the first letter of 
 the Hebrew Alphabet, the other letters following at the beginning of each 
 successive division. The alphabetical order is not, however, always rigidly 
 observed. There are also seven Psalms which for more than 1,600 years have been 
 known as the Penitential Psalms. These are Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143. 
 All the Penitential Psalms are appointed to be sung on Ash Wednesday, Psalms 
 6, 32, 38 at Morning Prayer, Psalms 102, 130, 143 at Evening Prayer, and 
 Psalm 51 in the Commination Service.

BRIEF NOTES ON THE PSALTER, 
 
 Psalm 24. — A majestic Choral Hymn, commonly supposed to have been com- 
 posed for and sung upon the occasion of the removal of the Ark to 
 Zion (see II. Sam. vi. 12-19). 
 
 Psalm 25. — An Acrostic or Alphabetical Psalm. A prayer for instruction and 
 forgiveness. The last verse is probably not part of the original 
 Psalm, but is a later addition. 
 
 Psalm 26. — An expression of conscious uprightness, and of a desire to be separate 
 from evil men. 
 
 Psalm 27. — An expression of assured confidence in God, and an earnest cry for 
 present help and comfort. 
 
 Psalm 28. — A prayer for deliverance from the wicked, and for their righteous 
 punishmenjfc, followed by thanksgiving, and an acknowledgment 
 of God as the Saviour of both king and people. 
 Psalms 26, 27, and 28 are referred to the time of Absalom's rebellion. 
 They have many characteristics in common. 
 
 Psalm 29. — The praise of Jehovah in the thunderstorm. 
 
 Psalm 30. — " A song of the dedication of the house." A Psalm of thanksgiving 
 composed after recovery from dangerous illness. 
 
 Psalm 31. — " An earnest prayer for deliverance from trouble, animated through- 
 out by a lively trust and hope in God." — Ferowne. 
 
 Psalm 32. — The second of the Penitential Psalms, A record of confession made, 
 
 forgiveness obtained, and restoration to his Father's house 
 
 assured. Compare Prov. xxviii. 13 ; I. John i. 8-9. 
 
 " There can be little doubt," says Bishop Perowne, " that this 
 
 Psalm was composed by David after Nathan came to him." It 
 
 '■ is probably later in point of time than the confession and prayer for 
 
 forgiveness contained in Psalm 51. 
 
 Psalm 33. — " The celebration of God as the God of creation, providence, and 
 grace." 
 
 Psalm 34. — An Acrostic or Alphabetical Psalm. A grateful acknowledgment 
 of God's providence, and of tlis moral government of the world. 
 
 Psalm 35. — A cry for assistance against enemies, and for their confusion. A 
 contrast between the Psalmist's love and their hatred." An appeal 
 to God against their craft and wickedness, and again a cry for 
 their confusion. Each of the three divisions of the Psalm closes 
 with thanksgiving. 
 
 Psalm 36. — A picture of remorseless wickedness, followed by an acknowledg- 
 ment of the protection afforded by the love and faithfulness of 
 God, which the Psalmist praj's may be continued to him.

 both in mind and body, probably intenaed for use on a day of 
 humiliation.

BRIEF NOTES ON THE PSALTER. xi 
 
 Psalm 40. — " The storv of God's mercies in a former time of trouble ; and a cry 
 for the like help and deliverance, now that fresh calamaties are 
 come." — Perowne. 
 vv. 16-21 are repeated in Book II. as Psalm 70. 
 
 i'SALM 41. — A Psalm written after recovery from sickness, under a sense of the 
 hypocrisy of false friends. The last verse is not part of the 
 orij^inal Psalm, but a Doxology inserted when the collection was 
 made, or in later times, in order to mark the conclusion of the 
 First Book. 
 
 BOOK II. 
 
 Psalms 42 and 43. — "There are good grounds," says Bishop Perowne, "for 
 concluding that these two Psalms constituted originally but one 
 poem. . . . On the other hand, there can be no doubt that each 
 Psalm is complete in itself; and it is conceivable that though 
 originally existing as one poem, the present arrangement might 
 have been adopted, the better to suit the purposes either of 
 personal or liturgical use." 
 
 Psalm 42 expresses the longing of the soul after God and the service 
 of His sanctuary. There is an oppressive sense of distance from 
 God, and of the loss of His presence. 
 
 Psalm 43 is more hopeful in tone, especially towards the close. 
 The same refrain occurs in Psalm 42, vv. 6, 7, and 14, 15 ; and 
 in Psalm 43*, vv. 5, 6, marking the divisions of the poem. 
 
 Psalm 44. — A contrast between the painful present and the glorious past. A 
 plea of faithfulness to God, and a praj'er for His renewed favour. 
 
 Psalm 45. — A marriage song for a Jewish king and a foreign princess. 
 Compare vv. 7-8 with Heb. i. 8-9. 
 
 Psalms 46, 47, and 48. — Songs of triumph composed on the occasion of some 
 great national deliverance. It has been conjectured that they all 
 celebrate the same event, the destruction of the army of Senna- 
 cherib before the walls of Jerusalem. 
 
 Psalm 49. — " A vindication of the ways of God, in view of the different fortunes 
 of the righteous and the wicked in this world." — Peroivne. 
 
 Psalm 50. — A description of the scene of the judgment of God in Zion, followed 
 
 by an exposition of the true nature of the service and worship 
 
 which God requires from man. 
 Psalm 51. — The fourth of the Penitential Psalms. The expression of a deep 
 
 and true repentance. 
 The last two verses are probably not part of the original Psalm, but 
 
 a later addition. 
 
 Psalm 52. — A stern, courageous, and faithful rebuke to the evil-doer, closing 
 with an expression of confidence and thankfulness. 
 
 Psalm 53. — Another version of Psalm 14 (see the note on that Psalm). 
 
 Psalm 54. — A Psalm composed in time of peril. 
 
 Psalm 55. — A bitter complaint of the faithlessness of a trusted friend. 
 
 Ps-alms 56 and 57. — " The complaint of one who, though hard pressed by 
 enemies, nevertheless trusts in God, rests in His promises, flies 
 to Him for succour, and renders thanks for His mercy." — 
 Perowne.

 life. 
 Psalm 65. — A Harvest Hymn in a year of abundance. 
 
 Psalm 66 — The celebration of the great things which God has done on behalf 
 of His people, and an invitation to all nations to join in giving 
 Him thanks. 
 
 Psalm 67. — A Liturgical Psalm, expressive of a hope that the God of Israel will

 Compare vv. 1, 6, 7 with the High Priest's blessing in Num. vi. 
 24-26. 
 
 Psalm 68. — This grand hymn describes, under figures borrowed from the 
 
 triumph of an earthly conqueror, the entry of God into His 
 
 Sanctuary on Mount Zion, there to reign, acknowledged and 
 feared by all nations. 
 
 Psalm 69. — As in Psalms 35 and 109, there is a sense here of grievous wrong, 
 innocence unjustly persecuted, and a fiery indignation against 
 the persecutors. 
 
 Psalm 70. — A repetition, with some variations, of the last six verses of 
 Psalm 40. 
 
 Psalm 71. — It has been conjectured that this Psalm maj' have been written by 
 Je.emiah in his old age. For many expressions in the Psalm, 
 couipiire Psalms 22, 31, 35, and 40. The Psalmist tells the story 
 of the past, and looks forward to the future with hope. 
 
 Psalm 72. — This Psalm, like the 20th, 21st, and 45th, is a Royal Psalm, invoking 
 God to grant the King a reign of righteousness, peace, prosperity, 
 and world-wide dominion. 
 
 BOOK III. 
 
 Psalm 73. — This Psalm is parallel with the 37th, and is concerned with the same 
 perplexing problem, AVhy should good men suffer, and bad men 
 prosper ? The Psalmist recounts the dcnibts and temptations 
 which had assailed him, confesses their sinfulness, and explains 
 how he had been enabled to overcome them. 
 
BRIEF NOTES OX THE PSALTER. xiii 
 
 Psalm 74. — Both this Psahii and the 79th are held to refer to the same national 
 calamity, the rejection of the people by God, the occupation of 
 Jerusalem by a foreij]:n army, the profanation ai-«d destruction of 
 the Temple, and the ^jreat slaughter of the inhabitants of Jeru- 
 salem. The two Psalms are generally connected with the 
 invasion of Nebuchadnezzar, or (by some) with the oppression of 
 Antiochus Epiphanes. 
 
 Psalm 7.j. — A thanksgiving for the righteous judgment of God. 
 
 Psalm 7(5. — This Psalm, it is held, is one of several Psalms. which were written 
 to celebrate the overthrow of the army of Sennacherib. 
 
 Psalm 77. — The expression of personal sorrow and disquietude, and of relief 
 brought by reflection on the deliverance God had granted His 
 people. 
 
 Psalm 78. — In this Psalm, the longest of the Historical Psalms, the history of 
 Israel is briefly recapitulated, from the time of the Exodus to the 
 accession of David, with the view of rebuking the sin, the ingrati- 
 tude, and the rebellion of the people {see Perowne). 
 
 Psalm 79. — Compare note on Psalm 74. 
 
 Psalm 80. — Another of the Historical Psalms, written at a time of great disaster, 
 when the nation was held down by foreign invaders. A prayer 
 for deliverance occurs frequently. 
 
 Psalm 81. — A Psalm for use at a Festival, putting in its true light the national 
 
 joy- 
 
 Psalm 82. — " This Psalm is a solemn rebuke, addressed in prophetic strains to 
 those who, pledged by their office to uphold the Law, had trampled 
 upon it for their own selfish ends." — Perowne. 
 
 Psalm 83. — A prayer, founded on God's former acts on His people's behalf, for 
 deliverance from the enemies who are threatening Judah. 
 
 Psalm 84. — It is conjectm-ed that this Psalm is from the same hand as Psalms 42 
 and 43, and was written under similar circumstances. 
 
 Psalm 85. — An acknowledgment of the mercy and goodness of God in restoring 
 the nation after the Captivity. It is supposed that the two prmcipal 
 divisions of the Psalm were intended to be sung by the congre- 
 gation and the Priest respectively. 
 
 Psalm 86. — A number of earnest petitions, based on several grounds, and an 
 expression of fearless confidence in the mercv and goodness of 
 God. 
 
 Psalm 87. — A remarkable anticipation of the union and brotherhood of nations, 
 which is fulfilled in the kingdom of Christ alone. 
 
 Psalm 88. — The outpouring of a burdened heart before God. Avhich in this Psalm 
 alone fails to bring relief and consolation. It is appointed as one 
 of the Proper Psalms for Good Friday. 
 
 Psalm 89. — A recital of the " faithfulness of God " in the past, in contrast with 
 the disasters and the disappointment of the present, issuing in 
 an appeal to God against the *' reproach " of His enemies. 
 
xiv BRIEF NOTES ON THE PSALTER. 
 
 BOOK IV. 
 
 Psalm 90. — " A prayer of Moses the man of God." " The 90th Psalm might be 
 cited as perhaps the most sublime of human compositions, the 
 deepest in feeling, the loftiest in theological conception, the most 
 magnificent in its imagery." — Isaac Taylor. The Psalm consists 
 of a meditation on the eternity^ of God, contrasted with the 
 frailty and transitoriness of man, followed by a praj'er that God 
 would in His compassion give them joy in sorrow. 
 
 Psalm 91. — The celebration of the loving and watchful care of God, and the 
 peace and safety^ of those who find their refuge in Him. 
 
 Psalm 92. — "A Song for the Sabbath Day," appointed to be used in the Temple 
 Service on that day. The Psalm is an acknowledgment of the 
 greatness of God's works, and of His righteous government of the 
 world. Compare Psalms 1, 37, 49, 73. 
 
 Psalm 93. — It has been w ell pointed out that the words in Psalm 92, v. 8, " Thou, 
 Lord, art the most Highest for evermore," sum up the teaching of 
 this Psalm. 
 
 Psalm 94. — " A Lyric Psalm for the fourth day of the week." An appeal to God 
 against tyrannical and unrighteous rulers and judges, followed by 
 the expression of calm confidence in the final manifestation of 
 the righteousness of God. 
 
 Psalm 95. — This Psalm is another of the Liturgical series (Psalms 92-100), 
 intended for use in the Temple Service. Like Psalm 81, it was 
 probably composed for some Festival. In Christian liturgies it 
 has been commonly called the Invitatory Psalm, and has been 
 used as such from a very remote period. It contains an invitation 
 to sing joyfully to God, and a warning against unbelief and 
 disobedience. 
 
 Psalms 96, 97, 98. — These Psalms have for their subject the prophetic anticipa- 
 tion of " the last great revelation, the final victory of God, when 
 His salvation and righteousness, the revelation of which He has 
 promised to the house of Israel, shall be manifested both to His 
 own people and to all the nations of the earth." 
 
 Psalm 99. — This Psalm is the last of the series (Psalms 93-99) in which is 
 celebrated the coming and the establishment of the Kingdom of 
 Jehovah. The Psalms were probably suggested by the restoration 
 of the people to their own land, after the Captivity. 
 
 Psalm 100. — " A Psalm of Praise," closely connected wdth the preceding series 
 of Liturgical Psalms, of which it may be regarded as forming the 
 concluding Doxology. 
 
 Psalm 101. — " The godly purposes and resolves of a King." 
 
 Psalm 102.— The fifth of the Penitential Psalms. The title is peculiar : ** A prayer 
 of the afilicted, when he is overwhelmed, and before Jehovah 
 pourethout his complaint," describing the character of the Psalm. 
 The Psalm is rather for private than public use. It was probably 
 written towards the close of the Captivity by an exile whose mind 
 alternated between the bitterness of his own lot and the prospect 
 of Zion's deliverance. 
 Compare vv. 25-27 with Heb. i. 10-12. 
 
BRIEF NOTES OX THE PSALTER. xv 
 
 Psalm 103. — An outponrin.2: of thanks to God for His ^race and mercy, shown 
 both to the i'yahuist himself and to the natit)n ihroiigliout then' 
 history. 
 
 Psalm 104. — " This Psalm paints for ns," says Calvin, "in the frame of the world, 
 and the order of nature, the living image of God's wisdom, power, 
 and goodness, and exhorts us to praise Him, because in this our 
 frail mortal life He manifests Himself to us as a Father." 
 
 Psalms 105 and 106. — These I'salms, like the 78th, treat of the early history of 
 Israel, and of the wonders which God wrought on their behalf; 
 but while Psalm 78 is didactic, the 105th Psalm recounts the 
 mighty acts of the Lord as the ground of thankfulness, and the 
 reason for future obedience. The 106th Psalm, on the other 
 hand, is a Psalm of confession and penitence. It also deals with 
 the history of the past, but as a history of Israel's sin. 
 Psalm 105, vv. 1-15 are found, with slight variations, in I. Chr. xvi. 
 8-22, as the first part of the festal song which " David delivered into 
 the hands of Asaph and his brethren to thank the Lord," when 
 the Ark w^as carried up to Mount Zion. The next part of that 
 festal song is Psalm 96, then Psalm 107, v. 1, and it closes with 
 verses 45 and 46 of Psalm 106, the latter of which is the Doxology 
 at the end of Book IV. 
 
 BOOK V. 
 
 Psalm 107. — A description of various incidents and perils of human life, and of 
 the goodness of God in delivering men therefrom. The Psalm 
 teaches that God's providence watches over men, and that prayers 
 even for temporal deliverance are heard and answered. 
 
 Psalm 108. — This Psalm is made up of portions of two others, Psalm 57, vv. 
 8-12, and Psalm 60, vv. 6-12. 
 
 Psalm 109. — This is the last and the most terrible of the Psalms of imprecation, 
 differing from the 35th and the 69th, not only in being directed 
 against one enemy chiefly, rather than against many, but also in 
 the highly-wrought and detailed character of the execration. 
 
 Psalm 110. — Dean Johnson, in the " Speaker's Commentary," thus describes 
 this Psalm : " A mighty Prince, sitting at the right hand of God, 
 and the associate of His power, wages a fearful w^ar against the 
 enemies of both. He is accompanied to battle by an innumerable 
 host of comrade warriors clad in the vestments of holiness, as befits 
 the followers of a Prince. For He is a Priest after the order of 
 iMelchizedek ; not for a brief life, as priests under the law, but for 
 ever. The Psalmist foretells to this incomparable Captain, 
 through the aid of Jehovah, a victory over His enemies, over 
 princes and peoples, everywhere, opposed to Him, and portrays 
 His vigour in the fight, and perseverance, till no enemy 
 remains." 
 
 Compare v, 1 with St. Matt. xxii. 44 ; St. Mark xii. 36; St. Luke 
 XX. 42 ; and v. 4 with Heb. v. 6, and vii. 17. 
 
 Psalms 111 and 112. — Acrostic or Alphabetical Psalms. In Psalm 111 the 
 mighty \\orks, glory, and righteousness of God are celebrated ; 
 in Psalm 112 the righteousness and blessedness of the upright 
 are described. 
 
xvi BRIEF NOTES ON THE PSALTER. 
 
 Psalm IIB. — The first rsalm of "the Hallel." A call to praise God, and an 
 acknowledgment of His greatness and kindness. 
 
 Psalm 114. — A description of the Exodus, given with singular poetic and even 
 dramatic skill. 
 
 Psalm 115. — A Liturgical Psalm, probably composed soon after the Restoration, 
 with the memory of the oppression and the idolatries of the 
 heathen fresh in the minds of the people. It has been conjectured 
 that this Psalm was intended to be sung while the sacrifices were 
 being offered. 
 
 Psalm 116. — A thanksgiving by one who has been in peril of death, for the 
 deliverance which God has vouchsafed to him, a confession of the 
 gi'eatness of his debt, and of the obligation which it lays upon 
 him. 
 
 Psalm 117. — The shortest of the Psalms. Probably a Doxology to be used 
 after other Psalms, or at the beginning or the end of the Temple 
 Service. 
 
 Psalm IIH. — A Liturgical Psalm, composed for use in the Temple at some 
 Festival. There is little doubt the construction points to anti- 
 phonal singing. 
 
 Psalm 119. — The longest and most elaborate of the Acrostic or Alphabetical 
 
 I'salms. 
 The Psalm is arranged in 22 stanzas, corresponding to the 
 
 number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Each stanza contains 
 
 H verses, each beginning with the same letter of the alphabet. 
 
 For example, each of the first 8 verses begins with A (Aleph), 
 
 each of the next 8 verses with B ipjeth), and so on. 
 The main subject of the Psalm is the praise of the Law of God, 
 
 " an elaborate expansion," as it has been called, " of the latter part 
 
 of Psalm 19." 
 
 Psalm 120. — This is the first of the fifteen Psalms called in the Authorised 
 Version " Songs of Degrees," more accurately, " Songs of 
 Ascents, or Goings-up," or " Pilgrim Songs." No doubt these 
 fifteen Psalms originally formed a separate hynm-book. Of the 
 many interpretations of the name, the most probable appears to 
 be that which supposes the Psalms to have been sung by the 
 pilgrims going up to keep the yearly feasts at Jerusalem, 
 l^xcept Tsalm 182, they are all short, and express, as lyrics 
 should, some single thought or feeling. Psalm 120 is a prayer 
 against the false tongues of treacherous neighbours. 
 
 Psalm 121. — Trust in Him who is the Maker of heaven and earth, and the 
 Keeper of Israel. 
 
 Psalm 122. — None of the Pilgrim Songs answer more closely to the title. 
 
 Psalm 123. — Tlie sigh eitlier of the exile or of one who is laughed to scorn. 
 
 Psalm 124. — The acknowledgment of the lielp and deliverance of God. 
 
 Psalm 125. — The Lord is a sure defence. 
 
 Psalm 12<'). - Tlic fh'st band of exiles return as if in a dream. They cry to God 
 to biing back their bii'thrcn like mighty streams. 
 
BRIEF XOTES ON THE PSALTKiu xvii 
 
 Psalms 127 and 128. — " Two bright companion pictures of social and domestic 
 life." — Peroivne. 
 
 Psalm 129. — The record of past suffering, and a prayer for the final overthrow 
 of enemies. 
 
 Psalm 130. — The sixth of the Penitential Psalms. A cry to God for the forgive- 
 ness of sin. 
 
 Psalm 131. — The writer " contrives to claim humility' with humility." — Cox. 
 
 Psalm 132. — A prayer that God's promises may not fail, that He will dwell in 
 His chosen habitation on Zion, and that David's children may 
 sit on his throne in unbroken succession. 
 
 Psalm 133. — A faithful description of the nature of true unity. 
 
 Psalm 134. — A greeting to the Priests and Levites who had the night-watch in 
 the Temple, and their answer of blessing. A fitting close to the 
 series of Pilgrim Songs. 
 
 Psalm 135. — Like Psalm 134, this Psalm is addressed to the Priests and Levites 
 who *' stand in the house of the Lord." The Psalm has been w^ell 
 called a species of mosaic, almost entirely composed as it is of 
 passages taken from other sources {see Psalms 115, 134, 136, and 
 147). 
 
 Psalm 136. — This Psalm is called in the Jewish liturgy " the Great Hallel," It 
 closely resembles Psalm 135. It was evidently designed to be 
 sung antiphonally in the Temple service. 
 
 Psalm 137. — This Psalm expresses the feelings of an exile but lately returned 
 from captivity to his native land. His heart is full of bitter 
 memories, the sense of wrong and desolation, and not unnatural 
 resentment. 
 
 Psalm 138. — A resolution to praise God. A prophecy that the kings of the earth 
 shall give thanks to God. An expression of personal trust in 
 God. 
 
 Psalm 139. — A magnificent and striking declaration of the omniscience, omni- 
 presence, and omnipotence of God. 
 
 Psalm 140. — A prayer for protection against crafty, unscrupulous, and violent 
 enemies. 
 
 Psalm 141. — This Psalm is referred by Delitzch to the time of Absalom's 
 rebellion. The allusions in verses 5-8 are obscure. 
 
 Psalm 142. — This Psalm is supposed to express the thoughts and feelings of 
 David when he was suffering under persecution by Saul, or of 
 some one in like circumstances. 
 
 Psalm 143. — The seventh of the Penitential Psalms. A complaint, and a prayer 
 founded thereon. 
 
 Psalm 144. — The first portion of this Psalm, vv. 1-11, consists of a string of 
 quotations from earlier Psalms. Yv. 12-15 appear to be original. 
 The compiler's object seems to be to remind the people that as in 
 their past history obedience to God has had its full reward, so 
 will it be in the future. 
 
xviii BRIEF NOTES ON THE PSALTER. 
 
 Psalm 145. — This Psalm is the last of the Acrostic or Alphabetical Psalms, and 
 is the only Psalm which is called a Hymn in the title. The 
 subject is the celebration of God's care for all the creatures of His 
 hand. 
 
 Psalm 146.— This Liturgical Psalm is the first of a series of five Hallelujah 
 Psalms intended for use in the Temple service, with which the 
 Psalter closes. It is an exhortation to trust, not in man, but in 
 the eternal God, "Who is alone worthy of trust. 
 
 Psalm 147.— The celebration of God's sovereignty over Nature, and over His 
 people, and specially of His goodness in " turning the captivity" 
 of Israel. 
 
 Psalm 148. — A call to both heaven and earth to give due praise unto God. 
 
 " It is but faintly and afar off that the ancient Liturgies (except so 
 far as they merely copied their originals) come up to the majesty 
 and wide compass of the Hebrew worship, such as it is indicated 
 in the 148th Psalm." — Isaac Taylor. 
 
 Psalm 149.— This Psalm is full of intense joy, and eager hope of a yet more 
 glorious future in store for the ransomed nation. 
 
 Psalm 150. — This is the great closing Hallelujah, the Doxology of the whole 
 Psalter, in which "the congregated thousands take up their part 
 with a shout, ' even as the voice of many waters.' ' 
 ' Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord."

 (Single Chant, major.) 
 
 m/" T)LESSED is the man * that hath not walked in the counsel 
 -■^ of the ungodly * nor stood m the I way of I sinners : 
 and hath not s^t in th^ I seat I of the I scornful. 
 
 2 But his delight is in the law I of the I Lord : 
 
 and in his law will he ex-er-cise* him- 1 -self I day and I night. 
 
 3 And he shall be like a tree phlnt-^d by the I wa-ter- 1 -side : 
 that will bring f^rth his I fruit in I due I season.

 and look, whatso^v-er h^ I do-eth, I it shall I prosper. 
 
 i> 5 As for the ungodly, it is n^t I so with I them : 
 
 but they are like the chaff * which the wind scattereth 
 
 aw^y from the I face I of the I earth. 
 Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stUnd I in the I

 t Altt'Duitirc arrangenient. Half of each verse, Dec. and Can respectively. 
 
 By folio win fj the verse -arranncment found in both the Authorised and the Revised Versions, 
 Psalm I. can be divided into two equal groups, each containing three verses, and may 
 be sung to a Triple Chant, like Psalm II. Verses 3 and 4 would then be united, and 
 pointed thus, as one verse : — 
 
 77?/ And he shall be like a tree planted by the water- side # 
 
 that will bring forth his fruit* m I due I season : 
 his leaf also shall not wither » and look, whatsoev-er he I 
 do-eth, ! it shall I prosper. 
 
 When a Triple Chant is used, it will probably be found best to assign each group to 
 Dec. and Can. respectively. The Gloria should be -sung to a corresponding Double 
 Chant.

 By folloiving the verse-arrangement found in both the Authorised and th Revised Verdons, 
 Psalm I. can be divided into two equal groups, each containing three ver^o^, and mag 
 be sung to a Triple Chant, like Psalm II. Verses 3 and 4 would then be united, and 
 pointed thus, as one verse : — 
 
 mf And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side # 
 
 that will bring forth his fruit' in I due I season : 
 his leaf also shall not wither » and look, whatsoev-er he I 
 do-eth, I it shall I prosper. 
 
 When a Triple Chant is used, it will probahlg be fmind best to assign each group to 
 Dec. and Can. respectively. The Gloria should be sung to a corresponding Double 
 Chant.
