View all copies of this ISBN edition:

Pleins' exposition reveals in the Psalms the core of a liberating worship that grasps the realities of individual suffering as well as the stern demands of social justice. Presenting a stirring fresh translation of many of the ancient hymns and prayers of the psalter, Pleins offers new perspectives on their meaning for the individual as well as for the community, from biblical times to the present.

Review:

By bringing together this urgency for justice and the gains of genre analysis, Pleins offers a reading of the Psalms that is responsive to the socio-political impulses all around us, which require theological-liturgical response. His is an important reading of this ancient/contemporary poetry." --Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
