Paradise Press 2009 David Mitchell James

While English speaking Orthodox now have a variety of translations of the psalter to choose from none of them are entirely satisfactory from the vantage point of the Russian orthodox worshiper, because they are all lacking the supplementary prayers and instructional matter customarily found in a standard psalter according to the practice of the Russian Orthodox church.

Now I must say that I have never seen anything like this EVER in English. And it is in two color and 8.5x11 perfect for Church use.It has all instructions and begining prayers and ending prayers you name it it has it. Chad

The book is beautifully done, well and nicely bound, and eminently suitable for use in church or at home.

Have a look at this link I found:

There was a link to it on the Eparchy of Parma page.

I will tell you that this is not the one I am talking about. The one I am talking about is a complete new translation from the slavonic with reference to the Coverdale translation and KJV. You will not find use of the Boston translation in it.

"Slavic Orthodox Psalter"

Complied by David Michell James of Rye, New Hampshire, 2009, with the blessing of Bishop Jerome of Manhattan (ROCOR). The translation of the Psalter is Coverdale (1535), modified to support the LXX. I've prayed it cover to cover. It is magnificent.

FYI, the name of this new translation was changed from The Russian Orthodox Psalter to The Slavic Orthodox Psalter in February, at the suggestion of Archbishop Mark of Germany and Great Britain (ROCOR), since, as he rightly noted, the Church Slavonic Psalter is the same in all the Churches of the Slavic lands.

Up until a few days ago, it had been available both as a hardbound book and as a free download at www.lulu.com. However, now the title does not show up when one searches for it, and my attempts to republish it keep generating an "unrecoverable error - unable to publish" message. I have e-mailed support (no phone support, of course), but have yet to receive a response. In the meantime, if anyone would like a copy, because of the very kind comments here, I would be happy to send a pdf.

Cool I didnt know that! Fr Mark made a big deal about it and so he picked up some. Ya know Eighth Day Publications might be interested in publishing it. Chad

Love to, but your PM limit is reached.

My quota appears to be zero, and I don't know how to change it. Perhaps it is because I am new here.

David,

It's an anti-spam, etc, protective feature that locks out new posters from the PM function and requires their posts be approved by a moderator before being viewable.

Many years,

Neil

I found it at Lulu as a printed book for $25.00 + $4.99 shipping. Ordered it Sunday 4-18-10. Will let you all know if there is any SNAFU.

David,

You should now have PM privileges.

Many years,

Neil

Interesting - I couldn't pull it up 24h ago there. So, hopefully, David's support request to them was productive.

Many years,

Neil

XB! Nor could I. However, now I think the link is working again. Would you mind double-checking for me? Here is the link:

Thanks!

David James,

XB! I was wondering if I could contact you about the pdf file; the link you posted above works for the hardback (which I'm considering buying), but the original urls for the file download and hardback no longer work.

My email is davidbryanw AT gmail DOT com (I can't do PMs).

Glad to see a old compadre formely known as... here

Wow I have been here 3 years and still dont have any privileges. Your so fortunate.

I received the volume from Lulu on May 1st and have been using it regularly. Sorry for the belated notice.

It is sturdy and legible, as well as attractive. However, the binding is like a glossy classroom textbook and the print is B&W, with grey indicating an original red. I'd love to see it in a leather-on boards or real-cloth binding with the red print restored. I know - money is the issue!

This Psalter harmonizes well with both the King James and Douay-Rheims Versions for the other parts of the Bible. The translation based on Coverdale with traditional didactic and devotional material makes it worth dropping $25.00 (plus under $5.00 shipping).

Hello, jamesdm49. Would you please e-mail me the pdf.? I've been to lulu.com several times and they say the psalter is not available. My e-mail is: fed_edge@yahoo.com. Thanks much. God bless.

Dear FedEdge:

I'm sorry, but the Psalter has been withdrawn from sale at lulu.com, and from free distribution, because it is under contract to be printed. God willing, it should be available in late winter or early spring of 2011 from Holy Trinity Publications in Jordanville (www.jordanville.org).

David James

Does anybody by chance have this PDF file? I would love to look at this Psalter before purchasing it.

In Christ,
Brad
