- This is a great tool for study in the Psalms! It shows the structure of the Psalm and it's parallelism (Important in understanding Hebrew poetry). It also has visual ways of finding psalms that discuss a certain topic, or follow a certain theme. I've recently been using it as an aid to my lesson and sermon preparation and have found it very helpful for reading the psalms with "new eyes."
- Leaves much to be desired... I'm not the biggest fan of a paraphrase in general, but if you're going to make one at least try to paraphrase close to what the passage means.
- In other words, what you want it to mean is not how the CEV has translated it (the CEV isn't a paraphrase). Do you know Hebrew and Greek well enough to be able to make that judgment?
