I genuinely enjoy reading from the Jerusalem Bible translation. I have a learning disability and so sometimes reading through poetic language can be difficult, like having to translate into a native tongue a couple times.
It's just very straightforward, a direct translation from whatever original source documents were available.
It's not at all better, and has downsides, as for many others that same exact aspect HELPS others to better understand, lol. So ymmv
Thanks Ariel. I’ve learned that either the KJV or English Standard (ESV) are equally effective. I have both. Psalm Magic is definitely my calling. Thank you! 💕

A pleasure meeting you all here
Any of the standard ones are fine. I personally prefer the Authorized King James version. Blessed be.
