Book of Psalms » (Illustrate)

The Psalms of the Old Testament have long been sources of peace, inspiration, and spiritual guidance fundamental to both the Christian and Jewish faiths. Here, in a giftable format, is the complete and unabridged King James version, the most poetic and elegant translation of these songs of praise and faith in the English language.

This lovely edition of a beloved book contains all 150 hymns, prayers of crisis, and songs of devotion, beautifully bound in a leatherette case with silver gilding, a ribbon, and an inset photograph on the front cover. Each psalm is accompanied by gorgeous landscapes made by garden photographer Mick Hales, each one selected for its resonance with the text.

The perfect gift for Christmas, Easter, confirmation, or any other celebration of faith, The Book of Psalms is a volume to treasure--small enough to carry, luxurious enough to display.
