Download or read book The Book of Psalms written by Jeffrey M. Cohen and published by Wipf and Stock. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeffrey Cohen employs his poetic skill and biblical scholarship to the challenging task of rendering the Book of Psalms into rhymed verse. While there are several fine renderings into English blank verse, notably that of Robert Alter, it is Cohen's belief that it is the rhymed verse genre that can best convey the vibrant and passionate spirit of the original Hebrew poetry, and its innate lyricism that lent it, so naturally and from ancient times, to musical and choral accompaniment. This highly original work conveys the inner meaning, lyricism, and message of the psalms in a manner that will engage and inspire adherents of all faiths and none. It also provides a useful exegetical tool for all who use the Bible for study, teaching, or preaching, demystifying many words and phrases whose meaning translators and commentators acknowledge as uncertain in the original text. This is as much a commentary as a work of poetry, as testified to by the endorsements of several Cambridge University biblical and Hebrew scholars. Before proceeding to create his poetry, the writer consulted the ancient Greek and Latin translations, as well as medieval and modern Jewish and non-Jewish interpretations, in order to attempt to clarify many of the acknowledged textual difficulties in the psalms. In many cases this impelled him to offer his own original interpretations. Readers will find these most helpful in clarifying the thematic link between many succeeding lines and paragraphs that, on a cursory reading of the standard translations, may appear disconnected. For scholars and students of the Bible this work will offer a novel perspective. For those who use the psalms for devotional purposes, this new edition will serve as an inspirational source, and for those whose interest is purely in the poetry, there is also much to appeal. ""Every new translation of a classic text affords us a fresh perspective on the power and beauty of the original. In this striking and wonderfully accessible translation of the Book of Psalms, Rabbi Dr. Jeffrey Cohen gives us renewed insight into the greatest of all books of religious poetry, the unsurpassed music of the soul as it sings its songs to God."" --Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, former Chief Rabbi of Great Britain ""Dr. Jeffrey Cohen employs his poetic skill and biblical scholarship to the challenging task of rendering the Book of Psalms into rhymed verse. This groundbreaking work conveys the inner meaning, lyricism, and message of the psalms in a manner that will engage and inspire adherents of all faiths and none . . . So much in the poems is arresting and impressive, at times downright brilliant!"" --Robert Gordon, former Regius Professor of Hebrew, St Catharine's College, Cambridge, UK ""You really do a most impressive job on these difficult texts, combining sound renderings with literary polish and exegetical allusion."" Professor Stefan Reif, Former Professor of Hebrew and Director of The Taylor-Schechter Genizah Unit, Cambridge University ""I can see why they impress, and they would make an attractive volume."" Professor Nathan MacDonald, University Lecturer in Hebrew Bible, University of Cambridge ""One of my retirement projects is an attempt to get to know the Psalms. As I work my way through them I look at various translations as well as the original Hebrew text. Your version in many passages is blisteringly original and immensely topical. I look forward keenly to reading the Jeffrey Cohen Psalter when it appears."" Philip Skelker, Former Headmaster, Immanuel College, Bushey, and English Master, Eton College ""Thank you so much for the privilege of pre-viewing your magnum opus. As a 'man in the pew', I mumble the psalms, only occasionally taking on board their import. However, when I read through your version I realised that there is no comparison with any previous edition. You have created a new form which touches the emotions directly. I know that one needs to study to fully appreciate the majest

Download or read book Psalms of Iraq written by Kenneth Butler and published by Jazzy Kitty Greetings. This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psalms of Iraq is my collection of emotions and thoughts viewed from situations felt within the realm of God's hand and hold. I like the various writers of Psalms aim to express my deepest feelings and longings as well as the truth of God's wisdom. These ancient Hebrew songs contribute to our understanding of definitive and dynamic ways. They are definitive because they contain God's thoughts and values. They help me and others understand how God thinks, what he values and how he might respond to certain circumstance regarding life's circle. They are dynamic because they explore our ups-and-downs of a person's emotion. David, who wrote the majority of Psalm, expressed every emotion he felt as a servant of God's Word. The joy of God's victories, to the deep contribution for his sin and shortcoming. We all have to introduce ourselves to our emotions and relate them to our Psalms in our lives. Some Psalms are communal or personal expressions of thanksgiving, lament, or moral dilemma. I had to live a life under emotions ranging from all sorts of feelings under circumstances while in another country. Being faced with danger all sorts of thoughts surfaced and gained sight through the Book of Psalms. The Book of Psalms was actually living in Iraq. God was constructing and building the PSALMS OF IRAQ in me. We all have a Psalm or Psalms with us, find God and you will find your PSALMS. Know yourself and you will know your PSALMS. Know God and you will know your PSALMS!

Download or read book The Secrets of the Psalms written by J. E. Charles and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jesus was dying on the cross for our sins, three of the seven statements he made at this critical moment of his life were from a single Old Testament book, the Book of Psalms. First, he cried out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" which was a quotation from Psalm 22:1. Later, he said, "I thirst," a quotation from Psalm 69:21. Finally, he prayed, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit," words drawn from Psalm 31:5. At the key moment in his life, our Savior drew his strength from Book of Psalms. Jesus made four other statements while he hung on the cross-"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do"; "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise"; "Woman, behold thy son!" and "It is finished"-but the only Scripture he quoted while on the cross came from the Book of Psalms. In his hour of deepest need, he found his help in the psalms.This book is written to teach you to do the same!Understanding the PsalmsWhat is a Psalm?A Biblical psalm is a Spirit-inspired prayer, originally voiced in song, addressing the need of a human heart-a need for mercy and forgiveness, a need for miraculous help (for healing or deliverance or protection, for example), the need to praise and worship the Creator, the need for guidance or comfort or justice or strength, or even the need to complain and question. The psalms address these and every other human need under the sun. The exciting thing is this: Because the psalms are Spirit-anointed prayers, they have the ability to tap into the presence and power of Heaven on behalf of everyone who reads and prays them, including you and me! That is why the Lord included them in his written Word, to make them available to his people down through the ages so that he could do miracles in their lives.
