Excerpt from The Psalms, Books of Wisdom, and Canticle of Canticles: Translated From the Latin Vulgate, Diligently Compared With the Hebrew and Greek, Being A; Revised and Corrected Edition of and Douay Version, With Notes, Critical and Explanatory In compliance with the suggestions of one of my venerable colleagues, I present to the public a revised edition of the Psalms, together with five other books, four of which, as they chiefly treat of Divine Wisdom, are styled Sapiential, As the Latin translation of the Psalms was made originally from the Greek, which is known by the name of the Septuagint, it is proper to give my readers some information in regard to this version. Its name arose from the account given of its origin by a writer named Aristeas, who represented it as the work of seventy-two interpreters, sent from Palestine to Alexandria, by the high priest of the Jews, at the solicitation of Ptolemy Philadelphus, king of Egypt, influenced by the suggestions of Demetrius Phalereus, the keeper of the royal library. Although this story is now generally discarded, the version retains the name; which, however, some think originated rather in the sanction given it by the Sanhedrim, or council of seventy, presiding in Alexandria over afikirs involving the interests of religion, like the assembly styled by the same name in Judea. It is certain that a Greek version of the Pentateuch was made about the year 285 before Christ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This collection contains sixty-two psalm settings and eighteen canticles selected from The Psalter: Psalms and Canticles for Singing, published by Westminster/John Knox Press in 1993, that may be easily sung by a choir. Most of the settings are for SATB voices, although unison settings that may be effectively sung by a choir are also included. This choir edition makes it possible for more churches to use the Psalter. It provides an important resource for singing the psalms and is an attractive option for church choirs.
