This is a translation in modern English of the "new" Latin version of the Psalms. Each Psalm is preceded by a short analysis of its contents, and brief explanatory notes are appended where necessary. Both the analysis and the notes, like the text itself, are translated from the authorized Latin version of the Pontifical Biblical Institute. The Psalms are printed not in the running line and paragraph form of prose, but in verses and strophes. This arrangement has been borrowed from the Biblical Institutes's Latin version, and is an attempt to reproduce the balance and parallelism characteristic of the original Hebrew poems. The rhythmical movement is the result of consistent use by the English translators of the iambic stress throughout. A clean very presentable copy.
