Psalms and Selected Canticles

The Book Of Psalms In The Bible Attracts A Great Deal Of Devotional Attention From Many People Including This Author. This Attention Turned In The Spring Of 1993 Toward A Project Of Translating The Psalter From The Original Hebrew. This Was As A Spiritual As Well As Scholarly Task For Me. The End Product With A Few Other Hebrew Poems Added To The Collection Came Complete In The Spring Of 1994. In The Late Summer Of 2022 I Took To Revisiting My Work Revising And Correcting It As I Found It Necessary And Brought To This Format In The Late Autumn Of The Same Year. I Had Sought To Provide A Translation In The Immediacy Of The Present Tense As Free As I Could Manage Of The Generic Masculine And As Lively As I Could Manage To Formulate. I Wanted To Convey The Energy Of Spirit And Of Devotion That I Felt In The Text As I Had Engaged It. As I Brought My Revisitation To A Conclusion I Felt I Had Achieved What I Had Hoped And Wished To Share It All With What Readers I May Accumulate Hopefully You.
