The ancient hymns, poems, and prayers found in the Psalms teach us how to communicate with God. As Eugene Peterson writes, this book "gives us a language adequate for responding to the God who speaks to us." Translated directly from the original Hebrew, the Psalms come alive in the heart-stirring words of The Message.
