THE JOURNEY OF A PSALM
THE JOURNEY OF A PSALM
THE JOURNEY OF A PSALM
We use multiple lenses to analyze each Psalm. These various perspectives, or layers, enable us to see how each aspect of the Psalm functions.
OVERVIEW LAYER
The Overview Layer is the initial point of contact for Bible translators. Designed for ease of use, it provides a concise synthesis of the psalm and serves as a gateway to the wealth of Analytical resources below. This layer allows translators to understand the interpretive conclusions of Scriptura scholars. In a single page or video, translators can grasp the essence of the psalm and the critical information they need to convey its meaning in their language. Its interactive interface ensures quick access to validation as required.
ANALYTIC LAYER
Analysis, the undergirding for all our work, is the classic divisions of language and scholarship into grammar, syntax, semantics, discourse, and poetics.
APPLIED LAYER
The Applied Layer is just beginning, as a rich repository of inspiration and learning. Its purpose is to showcase the diverse ways different language groups have used the Psalms to resonate with their culture. This repository will include a variety of expressions of God’s Word, such as text, oral, and sign translations, visual art, music, and more. Each example will demonstrate how a different translation team has captured the essence of Hebrew poetry in its unique context.
