Some of the most beautiful poetry in the Bible is in the Book of Psalms. In four special programmes for Easter, Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons reads from the King James Version.
The Psalms show a whole range of human emotions. Here we find hymns, laments and songs of thanksgiving, offering a space for reflection and contemplation addressing a wide range of subjects from love to politics and from history to faith.
In this final programme, Jeremy Irons begins with Psalm 115 and finishes with Psalm 150, including Psalm 137, 'By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion'.
