The Massachuset Psalter: Or Psalms Of David With The Gospel According To John (1709) is a book that contains the Psalms of David and the Gospel According to John, translated into the Massachuset language by Experience Mayhew. The Massachuset language was spoken by the Massachusett tribe, who were indigenous to the area that is now known as Massachusetts. The book was published in 1709, during a time when the English colonizers were attempting to convert the Native Americans to Christianity. The Massachuset Psalter is an important historical document that provides insight into the language and culture of the Massachusett tribe, as well as the efforts of the English colonizers to spread their religion.
