Excerpt from The Spirit of the Psalms, or a Compressed Version of Select Portions of the Psalms of David: Adapted to Christian Worship

The object has been to prepare a set of Hymns or Anthems suited to modern taste and Christian worship; in other words, to enable 'the members of an enlight ened community, amongst whom Life and Immor tality have been brought to light, to sing with the heart and the understanding as well as with the voice. With this aim, it seemed advisable neither to attempt a new and literal version of the whole of the Psalms, nor yet to compose a set of Anthems'entirely original. Each of these plans has its peculiar advantages, and IS also liable to certain objections.
