From Psalms: Layer by Layer
Welcome
Psalms: Layer by Layer, run by Scriptura, provides 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.
