This collection of psalms by Saint Ephraim the Syrian reflects the history of every Christian, which is externally delimited by birth, earthly life, death, resurrection, and eternal destiny, and internally consists mainly of struggle with sin, of triumphs and of falls, of bright sojourns in good and murky dwellings in evil.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn presenting this Psalter it is our sincere wish that everyone who opens it may find in it something for which his spirit yearns, be it instruction or contrition, inspiration or solace.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMay the Lord grant this to all of us through the prayers of our Holy Father Ephraim the Syrian.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA collection of hymns, compiled from the writings of St. Ephraim by St. Theophan the Recluse.
