Psalm Translations

I know of several people who are studying and/or translating the Psalms. In working on my collection of links to Bible versions, I am also arranging them by categories. I thought it might be helpful to list all the Psalm translations I've found so far for you.

     I will also add a recommendation for my friend's book. It is the Catalogue of English Bible Translations: A Classified Bibliography of Versions and Editions Including Books, Parts, and Old and New Testament Apocrypha and Apocryphal Books by William J. Chamberlin. It is the most thorough Bibliography of English Bible versions available. The Psalms listings cover over 70 pages! The Psalm Selections (portions of the Book of Psalms) cover another almost 40 pages!

  1. Not sure if you're only listing volumes that have translated *all* the Psalms or not, but Calvin Seerveld retranslated 37 psalms as part of his book, "Voicing God's Psalms". Seerveld translates into very idiomatic American English rather than a literal expression of the Hebrew.

  2. Thank you! Any translations of the Psalms should be listed here. I expect there are many on the web I've missed and certainly a lot in print. There is a lengthy preview of Seerveld's Psalms at google.
