In renderings of the Psalter for liturgical use, there is a delicate balance to be struck between the long-loved familiarity of the traditional version and modern scholarly accuracy. The Cambridge Liturgical Psalter has proved itself to have got that balance just right. It was translated by a panel of some of England's leading Hebrew scholars of the day while at the same time relying on an expert in English for the final phrasing. It deserves its place as the premier resource for church use worldwide.
