Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 1997

The psalms have long brought solace and comfort to those who mourn, and helped all of us find the spiritual in everyday life. This translation first appeared in 1973 and has now been revised and corrected using the results of modern study of the languages and cultures of the ancient Near East. This translation transmits the directness, the simplicity and the expressions of piety that are so essential to the sublimity of the Hebrew Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Psalms for Dummies, February 20, 2010

HIRAM "The Widow's Son" - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Book of Psalms/Pocket (Paperback)

This version of the Book of Psalms is all in English and without a letter of Hebrew anywhere. I love it for that reason, for its clarity and especially its usefulness in teaching Gentiles, who can read it for themselves in its proper form. The translations are pitch-perfect, and there is no interlinear translation migraine waiting for the reader. Get this; it will be your best traveling companion and comfort at home! It is work like this little book, and its terrific publishing company, that makes one really want to shout, "L'Chaim!!!"
