Psalms in plain English

"The inspiring words and teachings of the Psalms acquire new resonance in this translation into contemporary English. Biblical scholar Aaron Lichtenstein preserves the original poetry of the Hebrew by presenting the English text in verse, and doesn't shy away from using vernacular slang. By highlighting the interpretations instead of the words, this book captures the essence of the psalmic message while rendering the words themselves more intelligible than ever before. The original Hebrew text is also provided for comparison and reference"--

"The inspiring words of Psalms have been translated into clear and readable English by a scholar of Judaism and professor of English. This volume includes the full Hebrew text (including vowels and divided by chapters and verse) of the biblical Psalms/Tehillim, plus full English translation"--
