This lovely book and CD combination will help people hear the voice of God speaking through fresh verse translations of the Psalms. Calvin Seerveld has rendered forty of the Psalms into idiomatic English and structured his verses as singable melodies. Each Psalm was chosen and organized according to themes relevant to modern life. An introduction and an afterword set the Psalms in historical context, recommend their aptness for liturgy today, and offer concrete suggestions for using Psalms in public worship. The audio CD features oral readings of the printed verses that capture both the rough and tender quality of Godbs hymns.
