The Book of Psalms: A Translation with Commentary by Robert Alter

5.0

An exhilarating translation. The introduction is insightful, informative, and engaging. Alter guides you through his process with thorough and thoughtful footnotes. His decisions, particularly the difficult ones (there are many, given the vast differences between Biblical Hebrew and Modern English), are explained fully, and alternative translations are sometimes offered. This is the only Psalms I use.
