Psalms That Speak to You

 

By Yitzchak Bell (2016) Hardcover 800 pages, ISBN 978-1928822-91-2.

We all turn to Tehillim in times of joy and of trouble, but do we relate personally and with a sense of wonder to the entreaties and emotions in the verses? The author set out to create a new flowing translation designed to help English speakers find themselves in the Psalms and say them with understanding and feeling. Packaged in a pioneering format designed by world renowned Ben Gasner, it gives each of us the ideal words to respond to what happens in our lives. In the short time it’s been available, readers confirm that it is adding a deeply moving dimension to their saying of Tehillim—perhaps for the first time.
