Book excerpt: Excerpt from Luther's Translation of the Psalms in 1523-24 As a version, it was considered by the translator to be an impor tant one, in fact the most important one. This is attested by the part it plays in the evolution of the Psalm manuscript. Many Psalms are almost direct from the Hebrew with but little compari son with other versions (psalms 13, 14, 19, 83, 85, Other Psalms show that he followed the Hebrew only when apparent and almost irreconcilable divergences existed (psalm Isolated passages where the Hebrew differed from the other versions and where Luther followed the Hebrew are numerous At times when extreme difficulty beset him, he cast loose and followed the Hebrew with no regard for compari son Where real di erences of great moment exist, such as the interpolation in Psalm 14 at verse three of the passage in R0 mans -18, he followed the Hebrew as supported by Jerome. This dependence on the Hebrew has misled students into believing that we have to deal here with a free translation from the Hebrew, or a translation mediated by the Vulgate. The first position is untenable because the seeming freedom can be explained by refer ence to the Vulgate or Jerome's third Psalter. The second position would not explain passages literally from the Vulgate or Jerome, where the Hebrew divergence is ignored. The logical position is one in which the three Psalters are treated as versions of varying value, but all to be submitted to the same method of procedure.
