A Translation with Commentary

The Book of Psalms

Dana Kraft

Much of the commentary dug deeper into the Psalms than I am ready for. The two things I took away were how personal many of the psalms were intended to be, as one person talking to God. The phrase I remember reading in those psalms was “how long...?” I was also reminded of how much of the “original” texts are difficult and almost untranslatable even for experts.

What a wonderful daily companion over the last month. Praise be to God.
