Batyah Ginzberg has rewritten and reinterpreted the Hebrew Psalms originally written by King David in an effort to achieve an impact on spiritual healing. They have a traditional Jewish orientation. Batyah Ginzberg views HASHEM as gender rich in gender orientation possessing characteristics present universally in both genders and as a non-physical imageless spiritual entity, not a mortal human being or a ghost. The Psalms included are Psalms 78-150.

Psalm 142

A maskil of Batyah.

I sob and weep all day long to YAH: I appeal to Her for understanding and compassion and mercy: I pour out my grievances to Her: I let Her know my problems as my self-confidence fails within me: You know my path, they have laid a trap in my path as I walk: Look at my right and see--I have no true friend, there is nowhere I can flee, no one cares about me: So I cry to You God, my dearest YAH, I say you are my refuge: You are all I have in this house: Listen to me weep, for I am very depressed: Save me from the neighbors gossip: For they are too strong for me: Free me from this house: so I may love Your name: The good people out there will respect me because You will protect me from bad people's insults.
