Excerpt from The Treasury of David, Vol. 6 of 6: Containing an Original Exposition of the Book of Psalms; A Collection of Illustrative Extracts From the Whole Range of Literature; A Series of Homiletical Hints Upon Almost Every Verse; And Lists of Writings Upon Each Psalm; Psalm CXIX to CXXIV My next portion will continue the Pilgrim Psalms, of which we have five in the present volume. I have been sorry to make a break in these golden steps. I would rather have presented the glittering ascent as a whole, that all might see at a glance the stairs of the City of David at the ascent of the wall; but as the books must divide somewhere, and there was no more con vement place, I have been compelled to separate these Songs of the Steps, or Songs on the high key, as Luther calls them. It was impossible to cut the great psalm in two, and it is a far less evil to separate the members of a group. I hope the arrangement will not cause serious inconvenience to anyone; nor prevent the student's meditating upon each Song of De grees, not only as it sparkles as a separate star, but as it shines in its own constellation.
