The Psalms in Common Meter - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Psalms In Common Meter is a rendering of the entire Biblical book of Psalms into gentle and accessible verse. It is an entirely new verse-by-verse translation that follows a centuries-long tradition of metrical Psalters that God’s people have used in their devotions and worship. This is not a text to be studied, but a collection of Biblical prayers that give voice to the emotions. From suffering and anger to joy and praise, the Psalms lift up our souls to God. For I am faint and feeble, Lord, my body aches and groans; O heal me from my maladies and pain within my bones. (Psalm 6:2) O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful Your name in all the earth; The splendor of the heavens shows Your glory and Your worth. (Psalm 8:1) There is a river known as joy that flows through streets of gold; It brings the city of our God delight and bliss untold. (Psalm 46:4) My soul finds rest in God alone because of grace He shows; My hope and rescue come from Him, for I’m the one He chose. (Psalm 62:1) Awake my soul and rise with me, awake O harp and strings; For I will wake the dawning day as all creation sings. (Ps 108:2)
