The psalms are the inspired prayers and praises of God's people. When we study and pray the psalms, they change us--we are shaped by Scripture so that we think about God the way the psalmists did, and their words become the overflow of our hearts. This fresh translation of Psalms will help you encounter the richness inherent in their language and structure in ways you've probably never noticed before. Unlike many modern translations, which translate according to the conventions of English poetry, James M. Hamilton Jr.'s translation retains the poetry and artistry of the original Hebrew. Intentionally literal and transparent, Hamilton's work allows the underlying Hebrew to show through so you can peer into the actual words of the psalms and understand how they are used. This translation philosophy highlights vital aspects of Hebrew poetry, including repetition, parallelism, symmetry, contrast, and amplification. This new and distinctive translation is ideal for those who, like the man of Psalm 1, aspire to meditate on God's Word day and night.
