Since antiquity, the man of Israel has prayed. He is invigorated every day by the pulse of prayer. This spiritual task of the people of Israel has been best preserved by the Psalms. But prayer has surged beyond the borders of Israel, springing forth in all the world’s religions—the inspiration even of the modern poet, whose sensitivity echoes that of the psalmist in his songs and in his outcries.
