PSALMS BY THE DAY
A New Devotional Translation
By Alec Motyer
Christian Focus. 422 pages. £16.99
ISBN 978 1 781 917 169

Psalms By The Day is a 73-day reading plan of the Book of Psalms. So sometimes there is a cluster of Psalms for the day or a Psalm per day and then for Psalm 119 we have a week to go through it.

The format for each day is a Psalm translated by Alec Motyer. I found this very helpful because it was done giving a more literal translation of the Hebrew. So while it sometimes makes for awkward English it does give a richer meaning to the Psalm. You wouldn’t particularly want everyone playing around with the text. However, Alec is a Hebrew scholar and has a love and respect for God’s Word, so we can have confidence in what he has done.
