About this book
A Manual of the Book of Psalms, or the subject-contents of all the Psalms, is by Martin Luther, now first translated into English by the Rev. Henry Cole. The text says there are Psalms of consolation, which comfort and lift up the hearts of those who are distressed, tempted, and afflicted by Satan and the world. The text also names supplicatory Psalms, wherein the prophet and others in their afflictions call upon God in prayer and implore his help, and Psalms of thanksgiving, wherein thanks are rendered to God for all his mercies and benefits.
The text says that in the Hebrew the Book is called SEPHER IL CHILLIM, that is, the Book of Praises and Thanksgivings. The text also gives the lines Whom have I heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. The text says of one Psalm that it is a fervent prayer in which the Psalmist prays to be delivered from wicked teachers, who pretend to speak of peace.
