ESV Psalms, Photography Edition

How can you see God in the Psalms? The ESV Psalms, Photography Edition, is a beautiful reader-version of the Psalms paired with rich pictures of the Irish landscape.

Stir Your Soul

The stunning scenery will cause you to slow down as you go through the book, giving your attention to the work of the photographer and the psalmist together. I found that the photos help to evoke emotion and make the moods of the Psalms seem a bit stronger. Even the more subtle pictures help to stir the soul.

Green and blue color seems to be a consistent theme. Lighter shades reveal a more serene atmosphere, while darker tones are displayed for Psalms of difficulty and danger. The layout of the chapters adds to the experience, giving the text space and letting the words breathe. You’ll see the Psalms come to life.

Restore Your Soul

Bound in a handsome hardback book, this would make for a perfect gift or as a quality investment in your personal devotions. It comes in a sturdy slipcase and includes a ribbon marker. The entire book is a work of art that truly treasures God’s Word.

The beauty of the Irish landscape seen in the photos is that it seems to be free from the hustle and bustle of my modern American life. You can hear the water. You can feel the breeze. Creation sings to the Creator. God is a refuge and strength. He restores our souls.
