About the book

The Book of Psalms brings together 150 biblical songs and poems in which praise, grief, anger, repentance and hope find some of their most enduring expression. Voices of confidence and thanksgiving stand beside cries of abandonment and appeals for justice, giving this ancient collection an extraordinary emotional range. Central to Jewish and Christian worship, the Psalms have also shaped English poetry, sacred music and everyday language. Read as devotional writing or as literature, they offer moving reflections on suffering, human frailty and the search for consolation.
