"This psalter is the translation made and used at New Skete since 1966. With the constant repetition and extensive use of psalms in Orthodox Catholic Worship, especially in a monastery, the psalms must always be at hand. However, the absence of a psalter divided in Orthodox fashion and using contemporary American English strongly suggested a new translation. This edition, then, is an attempt to fill that need. It strives for clarity and euphony in a faithful poetic rendition of the psalms and canticles. It has also been carefully revised throughout the last eighteen years during its use in the daily offices at New Skete." - Introduction.
