Excerpt from The Psalms With Introductions and Critical Notes: Books I and II, Psalms I, to LXXII In one respect alone does the art fail to reach its culminating point under the hands of David. His Psalms commonly lack the smooth ness and polish which give a kind of artificial beauty to the far inferior compositions of the post-exilic period. They are characterized by a terseness of expression which not unfrequently obscures the sense intended. To the ear they are often harsh and rugged. In fact the majority of them - these traits are not always present, and Psalms viii., xix., xxiii. Are remarkable exceptions to the rule - must have been very ill-adapted for public singing, and all attempts of translators to repro duce the sense and at the same time introduce such uniform rhythm as is required by musical schemes, have as yet proved failures. Our Prayer book Version recklessly sacrifices the sense to sound. In David's time musical (not poetical) schools were founded under the presidency of Asaph and others, and the sons of Korah, probably not long afterwards, undertook the actual vocal performance of such hymns as were used in public service. For the relation of these guilds of musicians and singers to the Poetry of the Psalter, see Proleg., Chap. VI.

Excerpt from The Psalms With Introductions and Critical Notes This Psalm may be regarded as one of the most interesting in the whole Psalter. The spiritual life, illumined by only a partial revelation, is here presented to us in its inner conflicts. The various phases of the struggle, the misgivings expressed only to be repressed, the perplexity, the final re-assurance and self-reproof, are portrayed with almost dramatic reality. The difficult problem, which forms the subject of this Psalm, is that which meets us in Psalm xxxvii, and in the books of Job and Ecclesiastes (cf. also Mai. iii.13 sq.), viz. How is it that those who give themselves up to wickedness often seem to fare better than those who strive to serve God? The Law had nowhere distinctly promised a continued existence after death, however much it implied it; moreover it had promised temporal rewards and punishments, at any rate to the nation, if not to individuals. To the Israelite then, this problem was perhaps even more difficult than to the thinkers of other nations. While he had but a dim foresight of the world to come, he had a clear revelation of the justice of the Divine Rule. How was he to reconcile existing circumstances with his knowledge of Gods attributes.? In the Psalm before us the Poets peace of mind seems to have been restored by attending the public worship of the sanctuary. There, in company with the generation of Gods children, joining with them in the worship of Jehovah, and hearing the words of the Law, he became convinced that in the end (whenever that might be), under the government of Perfect Righteousness, goodness must prevail, and wickedness must perish.

Taking his point of departure from the newest frontier of research, McCann reads the psalms in the context of their final shape and canonical form. He interprets the psalms as scripture as well as in their character as songs, prayers, and poetry from Israel's history. McCann's intent is to contribute to the church's recovery of the psalms as torah--as instruction, as a guide to prayer, praise of God, and pious living. The explicit connections which McCann draws from the psalms to the New Testament and to Christian faith and life are extensive, making his work suitable for serious study of the psalms in academic and in church settings. An appendix examines the tradition of singing the psalms and offers suggestions for the use of the psalms in worship.
