This version of the first fifty Psalms of the Hebrew Psalter is neither translation nor paraphrase. Nor does it pretend to be anything more felicitous than passable rhythmic prose. But it does draw on the original for inspiration and theme, and sometimes for specific words and phrases. The aim has been to make the Psalms prayable for those who find stumbling blocks in many of them as they have been variously translated into English.

I love the fact that Cotter tries to "follow" Primo Levi (the suicide survivor of Auschwitz) in recovery from depression. "We need to be emptied." [134]

This is written with a berth, not wide, for "Mysticism" or Not Knowing. And it is a credit to the legacy of Anton Boisen who wrote about madness as a spiritual gift. [xviii]
