Psalms for Morning and Evening

The Book of Psalms has been the prayerbook for Jewish and Christian communities for millennia. Its contents span the range of human emotion from loss and anger to love awe and exaltation. This edition focuses on psalms traditionally associated with morning and evening prayer as a way to 'bookend' one's day with peaceful contemplation. In particular this collection of psalms looks back to the Hebrew to explore layers of meaning that may have been lost in other more familiar translations and to emphasize images of justice and holiness in descriptions of the Divine.
