Description

The Psalms of David are the foundation of Christian
worship and integral to its form and content. This edition of the classic
Coverdale translation is accompanied by prayers and rubrics from the Liturgical
Psalter of the Russian Church, adapted to conform to the Greek Septuagint text,
and subdivided into the twenty traditional Orthodox liturgical kathismata. It is
presented here for the first time in a slimmed down pocket edition to inspire
daily use in prayer at home and when traveling. The text is complimented by a
flexible textured binding, gold stamped cover, and three marker
ribbons.
