Excerpt from A Translation and Commentary of the Book of Psalms, for the Use of the Ministry and Laity of the Christian Church The fine Christian spirit and unassuming intelligence which pervade the writings of Dr. Tholuck have not only endeared him to theologians and intelligent Christians on the Continent, but secured for him a large number of admirers in this country. Almost all his exegetical writings, with the exception of this Commentary on tho Psalms, have long been before the British public. Peculiar difficulties lay in the way, and deterred translators from tho execution of the work. These difficulties are referred to by Dr. Tholuck himself in his Preface to this translation: it may not, however, be amiss here to advert to them in brief, so that my position as the translator of this work may from the outset be clearly understood. Tho text of tho Psalms in the German edition is based on that of Luther, with such emendations by Dr. Tholuck as were rendered indispensably necessary by certain inaccuracies which occur in Luther's version, and other indistinct renderings which obscure tho sense and connection. Every one familiar with Luther's translation knows how much it is at variance with the English authorized version; but Dr. Tholuck's Commentary is based on the former in its emendated condition. A literal translation of Tholuck's version would have rendered the valuable Commentary to a very great extent useless to English readers, whereas the substitution of the English authorized version for Tholuck's would have produced an incongruity not less fatal to the use of the work. The only way I could see to meet this difficulty was this. Tholuck's German work was intended to meet the wants of the German public: the English translation is intended to meet the wants of the British public.
