Comments on: New Translation of Psalms http://pinakidion.org/archives/new-translation-of-psalms A writing tablet for my thoughts Sat, 22 Nov 2008 07:22:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: salguod http://pinakidion.org/archives/new-translation-of-psalms#comment-34783 salguod Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:16:08 +0000 http://pinakidion.org/archives/new-translation-of-psalms#comment-34783 I heard about this last night on NPR's All Things Considered and was intrigued. I especially like, as he notes regarding verse 4, how he deliberately chose words to try to reflect the tempo and meter of the original Hebrew. Sounds like a good book. I'm sure he'll be chastised by conservative evangelicals for 'dumbing down' the Psalms or some such nonsense. I heard about this last night on NPR’s All Things Considered and was intrigued.
