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 89

A Maskil by BatYAH inspired by Eisan the Ezrachite's original Maskil:

Of God's sweet merciful love, devotion, mercy, and kindness, I will sing sweetly and beautifully to You forever: I will use my wonderful voice and my open mouth to sing to You with kind holy Hebrew words dancing off my tongue and palate for You forever, I will sing to let everyone know how wonderful You are: For I said: "Forever will God's kindness be built, the heavens--You establish Your faithfulness in them." HASHEM made a Covenant, an agreement with the Israelites, His/Her chosen ones. God rules the greatness of the sea, when trouble comes and our hearts beat faster and faster, and we are threatened, You calm us: You crushed the venomous Rahav like a dead corpse, with the arm of Your great awesome might, You defended us and scattered our foes: You created us and You gave us the power to defeat our enemies with Your help and guidance: In Your Name: The Name: HASHEM, we rejoice, God has exalted the Priests from among His/Her people, and we go to the Priests for help and to God for help: God is our help and S/He always will be: HASHEM has anointed David His/Her servant and all of his descendants are anointed with holy oil: And HASHEM will smash his tormentors before him, all who hate him and give him trouble: Forever shall I preserve my kindness for David and his descendants: For they are born in My womb and shall serve Me and all of the Israelites: the people who have been taunted, tormented: Blessed is S/He YAH, HASHEM forever:
