Translators Need to Understand the Psalm at a Glance Summary Sheet

It’s no secret that the book of Psalms is one of the darlings of the Church, and has been throughout the centuries. The poetic artistry, the raw emotion, the complete transparency—are all elements that make The Psalms so unique and compelling. Yet most of us never have the time or the tools to dig as deeply into them as they deserve. And when it comes to translating them, we need to have a profound grasp of their design and message. Today we’re going to talk about a project whose purpose is to provide translators with detailed analysis and useful information on The Psalms in one place. A big thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Robar and Katie Frost for taking the time to share their work and vision!

• Psalms: Layer by Layer project
• Cambridge Digital Bible Research (the non-profit hosting the Psalms LBL project, with an opportunity at the bottom to sign up for monthly newsletters to stay abreast of the project)
• For more information on joining the project as a scholar/translator: info@cdbr.org

Listen to the previous podcast with Elizabeth in which she laid out the original vision for the project.
