Psalms have long been a core part of spiritual practice, liturgy, and pastoral care, but traditional translations often reflect the theological limits of their interpreters. Queering the Psalms is a full reimagining of all 150 psalms through a queer lens-poetic reinterpretations that hold the emotional depth and theological yearning of the originals, while boldly expanding the frame to include queer bodies, voices, and sacred experiences long exiled from spiritual texts. With both reverence and reclamation, these rewritten psalms speak directly to the wounds, resilience, rage, tenderness, and holy longing of queer life-offering ancient songs in a new, honest key.

This collection does not merely "adapt" the psalms; it queers them from the inside out-centering voices traditionally marginalized by heteropatriarchal religion, imagining a God who delights in genderfluidity, transition, desire, embodiment, and the radical act of surviving. These are psalms for the abandoned, the adored, the liminal, the brokenhearted, the ecstatic. Psalms for coming out, breaking down, rising up, falling in love, and holding on.
