Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Talk on the Psalms As already stated, the poetry of the ancient He brews was lyrical. A lyric poem is the immediate expression of feeling, and feeling is the sphere to which most of the Psalms belong. The Hebrews donot seem to have been familiar with the metre, as it was employed by Homer and other ancient bards; at all events they scarcely ever used it. In Hebrew poetry we find a rhythm of thought rather than words; it addresses itself more to the mind than to the ear. This is the special reason why the Psalms can be translated from Hebrew into English with so little loss of the original beauty and vigor.
