Psalms for the Poor talk back to the blunt and beautiful phrases of the King James Bible. Sometimes personal, sometimes political, the original Psalms complain, question, curse, and adore: Why do the wicked prosper? When I consider the moon and the stars, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? The Lord is my shepherd, But I am poor and needy. Luther’s last words were, We are beggars. These poems are for the world’s poor, and for the pauper in each of us.
