The Book of Psalms contains some of the most beautiful passages in the Bible. This volume reproduces a selection of the most inspiring, following the text of the sixteenth-century King James translation. Each sacred poem is illustrated with a painting or illuminated manuscript from masters such as Giotto, Ghirlandaio, Mantegna, Tintoretto, and Michelangelo to create this lovely keepsake.

The Psalms express the heartfelt hopes and beliefs of people of faith. Many speak on behalf of the downtrodden and rejected, and the rhythmic, poetic words have brought joy, courage, and consolation to generations of readers. This unique collection highlights the Psalms' timeless message by presenting them with some of the world's best-loved images.
