What is the Darkling Psalter?

The Darkling Psalter is a project to make creative, poetic renditions of all 150 Psalms.

What is the difference between a psalm “translation” and a “rendition.

Glad you asked. Here is my answer:

If you want each post as an email, subscribe.

Any work of sufficient length is only sustained contact with by those who benefit from it. Every new subscription is a message that says: “Keep working. Keep working. Keep working.”

Rare is the artist who can dream up a work in their head alone and carry it to competition—even Tolkien needed to tell his children about Bilbo at bedtime before he found his Inklings. An idea can be a fragile thing and 150 psalm renditions is a big idea. I meant the project to be ambitious though and, if it is ever complete, it will be the work of years.

I know the only way I’m ever going to finish this project is if I know people read, value, and support it. Whether you subscribe or not, if you like a poem or find a rendition of a psalm helpful, drop me a line or leave a comment and let me know.
