PSALM (from the Gr. word * hXAew, to play the harp)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 534 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PSALM (from the Gr. word * hXAew, to play the harp) , the name used to designate the religious poems of the Hebrews, which are contained in the Psalter (see
PSALMS
 , BOOK OF).
Modern
  collections of religious poetry sometimes
bear
  the title of
Psalms
  and Hymns, but these are always more or less directly connected with the actual Psalms of
David
 . Longfellow wrote " A Psalm of
Life
  (1839), which was an intimate
confession
  of the religious aspirations of the author. The Psaumes of Clement
Marot
  (1538) were curious adaptations of Hebrew ideas to French forms of the epigram and the madrigal. But it is doubtful whether the psalm, as distinguished from the Hebrew Psalter, can be said to have any independent existence. It is loosely used to describe any exalted strain of devotional melody. (See also HYMNS.)
