Excerpt from Religion in Song: Or Studies in the Psalter In a series on "The Humanism of the Bible" the Psalter can surely claim a place, it is one of the greatest human documents, preserving for us one of the most important links between Hebrew Religion and the Christian Faith. However much difference of opinion there may be as to the date of particular psalms, it is clear that as a whole the book stands between the earliest histories and sermons and the later Jewish non-canonical literature. At a time when the Jewish Church concentrated much energy on law and ritual, it expressed the more spiritual side of religion, and bears testimony to a deepening of personal religious experience. It is based upon the revelations of the past, but it speaks out of a living present, and bears witness to a living God crying, "To-day if ye would hear His voice." It may seem to be an audacious rather than a wise thing to attempt to deal with a collection of one hundred and fifty poems in a book of such small compass.
