It is a tribute to the Psalms’ ability to capture the human condition that so many people have translated, re-written, re-visioned, and unfolded these prayer/songs. Thousands of years after being revealed to a faithful people, they can be meaningful to a person of any denomination or faith. I have over a thousand pages of journal entries about all 150 of these prayers. The pages capture my comments, thoughts, and feelings about each prayer as the meaning unveiled itself to me every morning. As I wrote this book I reviewed my journal entries and edited them into a personal commentary on each psalm. Because I journaled with so many different editions I was able to see the richness and diversity of the material. For this book, I chose to work from the New International Version Study Bible (NIV) Book of Psalms. The NIV is my edition of choice whenever I am looking for a biblical reference. I realize that people generally have a “favorite” version, be it the King James, or the New Revised Standard Edition, the New Living Translation, or the Jewish Psalter, just to name a few. Each of these versions reads a little differently from the others, but the essential meaning of a Psalm does not change. The purpose of the book is to present the psalms using New Thought, or metaphysical language.
