Words to God's Music: A New Book of Psalms

People for centuries have been drawn to the Bible's psalms — to their beauty and power, to their music and their poetry. In "Words to God's Music" poet Laurance Wieder gives these songs of the soul a new and richly imaginative interpretation. Many poets over the years have translated some of the psalms, but Wieder's text is contemporary without being trendy and offers a complete version of them. The result of Wieder's sustained inspiration, careful craft, and deep immersion in numerous versions of the psalms, "Words to God's Music" is extraordinary. These poems speak with grace and eloquence to readers of literature and readers of Scripture alike.
