""Most of Scripture speaks to us, while the Psalms speak for us."" St. Athanasius Most of Scripture tells us about God. The Psalms tell God about us - our feelings of rage, of pain, of gratitude, of praise. They express our human concerns and our requests of help. And they teach us how to talk to God. In this book John Goldingay presents a fresh translation of each psalm, explains its meaning and background, and points out how its wisdom applies to contemporary life.
