Psalms of the Bible: The Songs of Scripture in Both Contemporary and Classic Form

by Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty

Psalms of the Bible features the entire book of Psalms as well as other poems and songs of worship from the Bible in both their contemporary ​and ​classic forms. A beautifully-presented single-column format highlights the poetic nature of these songs. The inclusion of the psalms in their ​contemporary​ form​ (Christian Standard Bible®)​ ​with an accompanying ​classic​ translation (King James Version)​ ​ensures a rich and reflective immersion into God’s Word. Also included is an introduction article by Keith and Kristyn Getty on why the Church needs the psalms.

Psalms of the Bible features the highly readable, highly reliable text of the Christian Standard Bible® (CSB). The CSB stays as literal as possible to the Bible's original meaning without sacrificing clarity, making it easier to engage with Scripture's life-transforming message and to share it with others.

Psalms of the Bible also features the authorized version of the King James translation (KJV). The KJV is one of the bestselling versions of all time and captures the beauty and majesty of God’s Word for those who love the rich heritage and reverent language of this rendering of the Holy Bible.

Reviews

[David Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the Christian Standard Bible translations of the "songs" or "poetry" in the Bible. It's mostly Psalms 1-150 with other Old and New Testament selections, a nice feature, though it omits the poetical sections of Job and the other poetical books.

I did not read the second half, which is repeating the same in the King James Version.
