""The Psalms: A New Translation from the Hebrew with the Internal Sense and Exposition from the Writing of the Honorable Emanuel Swedenborg"" is a book that presents a fresh translation of the biblical Psalms from the original Hebrew, accompanied by insightful commentary from the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. Swedenborg was an 18th-century Swedish theologian and philosopher who claimed to have had mystical experiences that gave him insight into the spiritual world. In this book, he provides an interpretation of the Psalms that emphasizes their spiritual meaning and relevance to contemporary life. The translation itself is faithful to the original text, but the commentary adds depth and nuance to the reader's understanding of the Psalms. This book is ideal for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual and emotional themes of the Psalms, as well as those interested in the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg.1837. And notes on the literal sense by the Editors. From the Preface: The Psalms, or the songs, and praises, and prayers of Israel, contain a complete history and description of the internal states, and of the spiritual experience of every member of the Lord's Church. During the long period of nearly sixty years, the life of the venerable Clowes was devoted to the propagation of the heavenly doctrines of the New Jerusalem, made known to the world through the instrumentality of the Honorable Emanuel Swedenborg. Mr. Clowes considered these doctrines as containing the purest development of Christianity from the Sacred Scriptures-as most calculated to promote the glory of God in the highest, and peace and good will amongst men. That the Psalms thus expounded, as to their spirit and their life, may tend to the promotion of genuine piety and charity amongst mankind, and thus powerfully aid the building up of the true Christian church.
