A book of consolation and compassion, offering encouragement and hope from the Psalms For those who are made to endure betrayal, affliction, adversity and suffering, the Psalms can be a source of wisdom and comfort. In this remarkable book, Martyn Percy offers a new reading of the Psalms to shed light on the help and comfort we can find in the midst of darkness and solitude. Martyn Percy explains how the Psalms fortified him during a time of great difficulty, and how they can help others who encounter difficulties of their own – whether as a result of Covid, recession, grief, abuse or personal hardship. In three sections - Going Through Fire, Being in the Darkness and the Grace of God – Percy walks us through the meaning of the Psalms that are meant to sustain us through times of intense personal suffering. Peppered with anecdotes, reflections and spiritual wisdom, this book will be a treasure trove of consolation and compassion for those who find themselves alone in their struggles. Each short chapter picks a Psalm for a day, creating a set of fifty reflections that make a perfect accompaniment for seasons of the year such as Lent or Advent, or any season where we find ourselves needing support. These thought-provoking meditations open up new windows on God's consoling and abiding presence in the midst of our suffering.

The Whole Booke of Psalmes was one of the most published and widely read books of early modern England, running to over 1000 editions between the 1570s and the early eighteenth century. It offered all of the Psalms paraphrased in verse with appropriate tunes, together with an assortment of other scriptural and non-scriptual hymns, and prose prayers for domestic use. Because the Elizabethan Church rapidly and pervasively (if unofficially) adopted this metrical psalter for congregational singing, and because it had in practical terms no rivals for church use until the end of the seventeenth century, essentially the entire conforming population of early modern England after 1570 would have been familiar with its psalms and hymns as elements of both public worship and private devotion. Yet, despite the significant impact of The Whole Booke of Psalmes upon English culture and literature, this is the first book-length study of it, and the first sustained critical examination of the texts of which it comprises. In large part this neglect is due to the reputation it gained after the mid-seventeenth century as a work of poor poetry mainly valued by vulgar and/or sectarian audiences. This later reception, however, was the product of not only changing literary tastes but an ideological desire to reshape the history of the Reformation. This study focuses on the actual aims of its authors and editors over the course of its gradual composition during the tumultuous religious changes of the mid-sixteenth century, and recovers its significant influence on the English church and literary practice. By tracing the ways in which historical contingency, religious fervor and the print marketplace together created and were changed by one of the most successful books of English verse ever printed, this study opens a new window through which to view the intellectual and ecclesiastical culture of Tudor England. It also shows how, in metrical psalmody, Protestant reformers discovered what turned out to be a uniquely flexible and effective instrument for advancing their vision of a godly society.
