The book of Psalms

the long version

"The Book of Psalms: A New Translation and Commentary is one of just a few literary works in human history that has had an impact of profound magnitude on our lives for centuries. Virtually every prayer service, both Jewish and Christian, includes selections from the Psalms.". "Yet, often, the available English translations of the Psalms fail to translate accurately key images and in the process also lose the profoundly poetic nature of the text. In this new translation of the Book of Psalms, two rabbis, who are also highly regarded scholars, have produced a fresh translation that is loyal to the original, while also remaining true to the lyrical beauty of the original Hebrew."--BOOK JACKET.
