I have been listening to a newish recording of the Psalms by David Suchet. What a blessing they are again proving to be. Read clearly and with a gentle expression they speak into every emotion and condition of man – well this one anyway!
I have read them a number of times and continue to do so. However there is a deeper blessing and a different engagement with their reality and message when they are heard – or expressed personally.
The first edition that I heard and enjoyed was by Michael York in the days of audio cassettes. I kept them in the car and would listen to them daily as I traveled to and from work and appointments. This present one I discovered quite by chance (or by God!) They are available without charge on the convenient Bible Gateway app (under Audio Bible) and on YouTube.
David Suchet is an English actor well-known for his work on British stage and television. Many will recognise him as the face and voice of Hercule Poirot from the long-running television series Agatha Christie’s Poirot. ‘In 1986 he underwent a religious conversion after reading Romans 8 in a hotel Bible’ and was baptized soon after. In 2012 he was appointed a vice-president of the British Bible Society and in 2014 fulfilled a long-held ambition to make an audio recording of the NIV Bible.
