The Book of Psalms comes to life in this new translation by poet Pamela Greenberg. Restoring the musicality and immediacy of the original Hebrew, the raw emotions of the psalms --- from jubilant gratitude and wonder to mortal terror and quiet despair --- are newly tangible in every line. Greenberg’s translation restores the unflinching realism of the psalms, as the psalmist or psalmists tremble in fear of real enemies, both outside their doors and within their hearts. God becomes at once the greatest source of hope and a source of unspeakable anger, as flawed men and women navigate the difficult questions of faith and doubt. The world of the psalms is full of pitfalls, frustrations, and danger --- but also full of song, bliss, and the hope for peace. It is a world that despite some of the outward differences truly resonates with today’s readers. Read an excerpt here.
