by Shlomo Dov Lederstein (Author)
Sefer Tehillim, the Book of Psalms, has as much profound meaning today as when King David composed it almost three thousand years ago. In any situation, whether joyful or precarious, we can open our Tehillim and express our faith and trust in God, as the psalmist says: "Hope to God, be strong and take heart, and hope to God" (Tehillim 27:14).
Now there's a way to find relevance and depth in the stirring songs of King David. This contemporary work, based on the classic commentaries, is not your typical literal translation of Tehillim. The straightforward style of the translation and its accompanying poetry will deepen your understanding and appreciation of these timeless passages. You will no longer merely recite the words, but rather tap into the concepts and themes embedded in them by the "sweet singer of Israel." Each chapter also offers a short uplifting insight culled from the words of our sages that conveys a deeper message and a touch of inspiration.
After reading Songs of the Heart, your heart will be open to the gamut of emotions the psalms emit, and you will say Tehillim the way it was intended, forging a greater connection with God.
