Hip Hop Prayer Book

Have you heard of this new Bible translation? And I thought the TNIV was controversial! Psalm 23 from the HHPB: "The Lord is all that, I need for nothing. He allows me to chill. He keeps me from being heated and allows me to breathe easy.He guides my life so that I can represent and give shouts out in his Name. And even though I walk through the Hood of death, I don't back down for you have my back. The fact that you have me covered allows me to chill. He provides me with back-up in front of my player-haters and I know that I am a baller and life will be phat. I fall back in the Lord's crib for the rest of my life."

Here is a great article on the English Standard Version which is another new translation. It, however, is much more reliable. This has become my favorite translation lately.

    That is hilarious! Is this for real?

  2. It's real. Saw it on our local Fox. The sad thing is I don't understand most of the phrases used in the HHPB text.
