More Details
The Pilgrim Psalter (originally titled “The Book of Psalms, Englished in Prose and Meter”) is the songbook of the Mayflower Pilgrims, going with them through all of their journeys, sufferings, and triumphs. It was produced by Henry Ainsworth in 1612, a Hebrew scholar and Bible teacher among the English Separatists in Amsterdam. His metrical translations of the Psalms are remarkably faithful to the Hebrew text, and he set them to many of the standard tunes of the Reformation era. The Pilgrims began using this Psalter while living in Amsterdam, and they carried it with them on the Mayflower. It was used in Plymouth until the colony ceased to be independent in 1692. It is here newly reprinted with updated spelling and musical notation, along with a historical introduction explaining its history, features, use, and lasting influence.
