The Psalms, a new translation, with the canticles of lRoman breviary

This translation is from the new Latin version of the Psalms, with reference to the Hebrew; the canticles from the Roman breviary are included. Ronald Knox brings same clarity of expression and exact scholarship to this translation as he did to his version of the New Testament: readers familiar with older versions will find that many phrases formerly obscure, are here alive with meaning. Though this translation is into plain modern prose throughout, it remains sufficiently rhythmic to remind us that the Psalms are, after all, songs, and written to be sung.
