The Psalmes of David (Sidney Psalms)

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(3,2 Sterne; 5 Bewertungen)

A poetic version of the Psalms by Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586) and his sister, Mary Sidney Herbert, the Countess of Pembroke (1561-1621). "It is possible that the original Autograph manuscript of Sir Philip Sidney may still exist in the library at Wilton. It would have been desirable to have ascertained this, as it might prove which were versified by him, and which by his sister. This I have not been able to accomplish." Some of the Psalms may have been written by a third party.

The Christian Remembrancer magazine for June, 1821 contains a paper by Dr. Cotton on English Psalmody. In speaking of this translation, he says, "By what strange means it has happened that this version has slept in unmerited obscurity for nearly two centuries and a half, I am utterly at a loss to divine. I see in many of them passages of considerable beauty; and notwithstanding the stiffness characteristic of the poetry of the day, there is often peculiar happiness of expression, a nerve and energy, a poetic spirit that might have disarmed, even if it could not extort praise, from the fastidious Warton himself."

A Beautiful English Rendition

(5 Sterne)

I really enjoyed listening to this reading of Sir Sidney’s poetic translation of the Psalms. Nicely rhythmic with frequent rhyming, it has more of the feel of English poetry than better known versions without harming the meaning of the original. I gave it five stars both for the quality of the recitation and for the content. This one shouldn’t be forgotten.

(0,5 Sterne)

you received 5 stars for the effort of a beautiful job well done. however I took back 4 ½ due to your misleading art work. it has to do with blood lines. if you're saying that the WORD of God is True, then you must question your art. n
