SynopsisFirst published in 1976, The Cambridge Liturgical Psalter is a modernEnglish-language version prepared for public and private worship by a panelof eight Hebrew specialists drawn from various Christian traditions, workingover a period of six years and in collaboration with a single literary scholarwho was conversant with the long tradition of translations into English ofthis ancient Biblical text. Excerpted in a Penguin classic, The Psalms inEnglish (1996), as one of only two versions chosen to represent the twentiethCentury, it went into six national prayer books, was bound up as The LiturgicalPsalter in An Alternative Service Book 1980, and was authorised for use invarious Churches world-wide. It remains a version licensed for use in theChurch of England.The Cambridge Liturgical Psalter represents the best modern understandingof what is on occasions a very difficult Hebrew text. Recognized by Jews andChristians as a reliable translation, it is here published for the first time withNotes prepared by the Secretary of the original Hebrew panel to explain thereasoning behind their decisions.'A masterly production': JOHN CROOK, Professor of Ancient History, University of Cambridge.'This is the version we should henceforth teach our children': GORDON WAKEFIELD, Moderator of the United Reformed Church.
