Take Me to My Psalm
Do you feel joyful? Transcendent? At Peace? Let the Bay Psalm App know how you’re feeling and deliver the perfect psalm to suit your mood. The Whole Booke of Psalmes –known as The Bay Psalm Book – was produced in the Massachusetts Bay Colony by the Congregationalist Puritans who left England in search of religious freedom. A new poetical translation of the Psalms, intended to express the Hebrew original, was made by the leading scholars and ministers of colonial New England – including John Cotton, Richard Mather and John Eliot. Just 11 known copies survive of this 1640 edition, the first book ever printed in what was to become the United States. Of inestimable significance, The Bay Psalm Book is not simply one of the great icons of book history; it is one of the greatest artifacts of American history. As Sotheby’s prepares to bring one of these copies to auction, you can explore the Bay Psalm Book through this unique and inspirational app and learn how it can guide you through each day.
