Bible Note: "We may in the Church have need of a few hymns to bring out the facts of the New Testament; but certainly for the elements of personal religion in all respects, there is nothing to be compared to the Psalms of David. There, there are outbursts of Divine seraphic love; there are moanings of distress, the deep groans of penitence; there we trace a wonderful susceptibility of what they beautifully call ‘the light of Jehovah’s face’: how they wail when it is hid, rejoice when He causes it to shine on them, how they improve it, and how they give thanks for it. Every one of these notes was, in the ground-work, prepared in the Torah … I am more inclined than I once was, to admit the utility of our having a few Hymns, for expressing the clearer objective revelation of the great facts of Christ’s history and work. But no Hymn-book I have seen gives every phrase of subjective religion with the fullness, distinctness, and appropriateness of the Psalms. Whether it be the celebration of the Divine excellences, or the deep-toned voice of penitence, or the longing of the soul after God, the rejoicing in the light of His countenance, or thanksgiving for His mercies -- in short, every emotion of the renewed heart Godwards, finds adequate expression in the Book of Psalms." --John "Rabbi" Duncan |
