<p class="lead">'''Psalms: Layer by Layer''' is a project of [https://www.scriptura.org Scriptura] seeking to provide scholarly yet accessible resources to Bible Translation teams working on the book of Psalms. As poetry, the Psalms derive much of their beauty and power not only from their content but also their very language. Translators need to understand the content, the form, and the poetic interplay if they are to make translations with equally high communicative effect and literary quality.</p>

Our aim is to provide visualisations and resources that make accessible the rhetorical, high-level discourse structure of each Hebrew poem while also providing the full grammatical, syntactic and semantic foundations on which such an analysis must depend.
