Psalms with Illustrations (Serbian)

This special edition of The Rhythmic Psalms by Prof. Dr. Aleksandar Birviš (1928–2015) is published in honor of the tenth anniversary of his passing. First introduced in 1990 by the Bible Society, this translation and poetic rendering opened the Psalms in a new and living way for the Serbian-speaking world.

Dr. Birviš, remembered for his deep knowledge of the biblical languages and his lifelong service as a Bible translator, was also a devoted leader in the Bible Society of Belgrade. His work continues to bless generations of readers and worshippers.

The Psalms are not simply ancient texts; they are the living Word of God. In this poetic rendering, the rhythms and melodies of the Serbian language bring the Psalms close to the heart—meant to be spoken aloud, recited in prayer, and sung in worship. Rooted in faith and heritage, these Psalms remain sacred poetry for both personal devotion and public worship.

This edition is enriched with the artwork of Fred Apps, whose illustrations invite readers to see the Psalms with fresh eyes and a deeper imagination.

This is not a book to be placed on a shelf, but a companion for prayer, worship, and daily devotion—drawing the reader into the beauty, power, and timeless voice of the Psalms.
