x led the Church in a gradual development of its sense of the kind of “voice” or “register” with which liturgical texts should speak in their vernacular translations. Liturgical Psalms and Canticles The Biblical translations found in this book are the fruit of more than twenty years of collaboration between the monks of Conception Abbey in Missouri, the USCCB, and the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. The key moments in this process included the following: 1998 The USCCB commissioned the monks of Conception Abbey to begin work on a new translation of the Psalms and canticles. Drawing upon Scriptural and liturgical scholarship and the deep experience of monastic prayer, the monks began to work diligently to develop a worthy translation that would address the bishops’ concerns. 2008 The first fruits of the monks’ efforts was a new translation of the Psalms, based in part on the 1963 edition of the Grail Psalms that was prepared in England. The USCCB voted its approval of the Revised Grail Psalms and the text was forwarded to the Holy See for its approval.
