The Book of Psalms: The New Translation According to the Traditional Hebrew Text

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.
