Expositions on the Book of Psalms [A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church - Volume VIII]

By Augustine of Hippo

Book Overview

To bring out its hidden meanings, the reading and chanting of the Psalter received the accentuation of antiphons and doxologies, and constantly elevated the worshippers into the newness of the spirit out of the oldness of the letter. Thus the whole book breathed a sweetness unknown to the Hebrews, but for which kings and prophets had patiently waited.
