Specimen of a Revised Edition of the Bifyglish Scriptures . A Royal Proclamation for David ; vulgarly called the " Second Psalm . "
WHY veerfe the nations tumultuous ; Or why did people imagine vanity ? Chiefs of the land rose up , And princes conspired together ; Against Jehovah and against his Anointed : cc Let us break asunder their bands , And east off from us their heavy yokes . ' He that dwelleth in the heavens did laugh at them ; The Lord did have them in derision !
Then spake he to them in his anger , And in his fury did he confound them : " Assuredly I have anointed my King , Upon Zion , the mountain of my holiness . " I Will declare the purpose of Jehovah . He hath said to me— " Be thou my Son , This day have I adopted thee ! Ask of me , and I will give to thee The nations for thine inheritance ,
And the ends of the land for thy possession . Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron , Thou shalt shiver them like a potter ' s vessel \ y } Now , therefore , O chiefs , be ye wise , Be instructed , ye Judges of the land . v Serve ye Jehovah with fear , And rejoice with reverence . Embrace ye the Son , lest he be angry , And ye should perish in the way ; For bis wrath will be kinkled in a little-Happy are all they who confide in Him .
Remarks . This specimen of a revised translation is submitted to the kind consideration of those biblical critics who occasionally enrich the pages of the Repository with their communications . According to Townsend , ( Old Testament Chronologically Arranged , I . 656 , ) this tine metrical production ought to be placed at the end of 1 Chron . xvii . Needs it be observed that thus historically read , it is full of striking references to the preceding narrative ; but how different the meaning thus conveyed , from the hackneyed interpretations of variod ' s theologues ! Whether the term 6 i Psalm" be correctly applied to such a composition , is
apparently doubtful ; hut what is the accurate biblical signification ot this word , now so indiscriminately employed in our Bibles ? A philological disquisition on the Hebrew , Greek , Latin and English appellations of the " Psalms , " would be highly interesting and useful : for where are the Lexicons which have given them their full consideration ?

Blow ham , SlR > Mat / 25 , 1826 . AM sorry that our learned and I worthy friend Mr .

It is , however , proper to observe , that he professes himself to be a believer in the inspiration of Moses and the prophets ; of Jesus Christ and his apostles ; and is ready to give . up his thoughts on these two chapters , if they will not bear examination . In this state of things I beg leave to make the following observations : 1 . There certainly was in very an-
