WHAT a treasure house is the book of Psalms! "Coming from a vast variety of individuals," writes the learned Dr. Leslie in The Abingdon Bible Commentary (p. 509), ". . . it is the noblest book of devotion possessed by men, and comes down to us enhanced by the reverence of centuries to which it has contributed both strength and light."
The writers of these psalms of prayer and praise must have glimpsed the thought so beautifully expressed by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps:
Sweetest the strain when in the song
The singer has been lost.
