Psalms in Plain English

Description

The inspiring words and teachings of the Psalms acquire new resonance in this translation into contemporary English. Biblical scholar Aaron Lichtenstein preserves the original poetry of the Hebrew by presenting the English text in verse, and doesn’t shy away from using vernacular slang. By highlighting the interpretations instead of the words, this book captures the essence of the psalmic message while rendering the words themselves more intelligible than ever before. The original Hebrew text is also provided for comparison and reference.
