Reading English translations (the good ones) of the Psalms is beautiful, though I often see little chinks of mysterious light, and sense an elusive fragrance, between letters, words and spaces...Thank you, Graham, for sharing these translations, and letting these Psalms reveal their beauty. I would not say that David's heart has been hidden from us in English translations, but I can't help feeling, in your translations, that I am listening to David, and not what someone else said that he said (to put it clumsily).
"And to you alone do I ever return, as if to a vast emptiness,
Glory to God, Brad, awesome to hear you experienced it that way -- as I did, too. There have to be people who hold onto things no matter what, but there also have to be people willing to smash the layers of "what someone else said that he said" that obstruct direct experience...
Yes despite everything ….. we need to handle the paradoxes … perhaps by living from the depths of our selves rather than always being in our minds….. resting in the everlasting arms
Graham, this is glorious. It's like you've taken the dough and kneaded it, and stood it in the sun to rise, and rise, and rise.....and ah, the sweet aroma of that cooked bread!
Like I said before, I'm not in doubt about the fact that you have a direct intuition of the Holy Ghost. Your versions of the psalms are better than any of the others—that's not in contest. They bring out why they were written, and why we should still care. I can hear the soul in them.
That's a good morning prayer, Graham. Thanks. The audio version is lovely.
Thank you sir!
Lovely, especially that image of the bundle of newly scythed fresh grass
The audio is so important. It's so good to hear this spoken and not just on the phone screen. Ah! God bless you, we are all together in this.
Thanks, sister.

"And come and rescue me.
For you alone are my flint megalith, my only temple."
Thank you so much ….This is just so very beautiful especially reading and then listening as I sit on the Cornish cliffs looking out over the sea……
How wonderful, Jane, how beautiful this world we're living in together!

Thank you Graham, loved reading and listening to this one 🙏🌾
I'm so glad, Lucy! 🌻🌻🌻

I'm smiling, Penny :) Thank you.
I love it. You can taste the sand between your teeth while reading it.
Wonderful, Sabine!
This thing is gorgeous.
Glory to God, brother, glad you think so.
