Psalms

Revised Geneva Translation

By: Various Authors

Narrated by: Steve Cook

Psalms is presented by number-one Amazon best-selling editor, producer, and narrator Steve Cook. Also included is a theological introduction by number-one top-selling writer/publisher Robert J. Bagley, MA.

This is the Revised Geneva Translation (RGT), a 21st-century update of the Geneva Bible (GB). It eliminates archaic and potentially distracting 16th-century words and phrases, while at the same time maintaining the strict attention to original intent, for which this version of the holy bible has always been known.

The GB is an Elizabethan-era synthesis of scripture based largely on William Tyndale and Myles Coverdale's early 16th-century translations of the received Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew texts. It is 85 percent similar to the King James Bible (KJV). However, the GB actually predated the KJV by at least a half-century and was in fact the more popular bible of its day among folks like the American pilgrims, William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell, and John Bunyon.

In addition, the RGT strives to preserve the textual cadence and poetry that is so essential to Elizabethan literature. Just as in all preceding centuries, biblical text in the 1500s was meant to be heard and seen, as much as read, because so many of those who received it were illiterate. And so, the living and active characteristic of God's word is very much kept in mind on this recording.

More about the benefits of this particular, timeless book:

Looking to praise and thank God? Then go to any one of the Psalms in Psalms 107-150 (to name a few). Looking for deliverance in your life from addictions and oppression? Psalm 23 is one of many for you to turn to. How about repentance? Want a great God-given formula for repentance? Then check out Psalm 51. Need protection for you and your household? Then Psalm 91 was written for you. How about healing? Psalm 34 is amongst many Psalms with powerful healing promises. Want to know about the prophetic coming of Messiah? You will want to read Psalms 2, 110, and 22. Arguably, all of that life throws at you can be overcome by reading the Psalms.

We pray you will be blessed immensely by this audiobook read by Steve Cook. Steve brings a semi-dramatized, anointed audio production. God bless!

I wish I could return it

The narration is disappointing! The narrator's constant use of “selah” in a different tone of voice is very distracting.
