Voce Mea, the fourth volume of the first ever English translation of the Commentary on the Davidic Psalms by Denis the Carthusian (1402-1471), continues with Denis's literal, allegorical, tropological and analogical traversal through the entire 150 Psalms. This volume covers Psalms 76 through 100. St. Jerome exclaimed that "ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ," and Denis heartily agreed. Indeed, outside of the Gospels, Denis maintains that the voice of Christ, the vox Christi, is found most strongly in the Psalms, though moderns, for a variety of reasons, appear to have developed a tin ear to it. Denis is the perfect antidote to this auditory malaise. Armed with a keen spiritual ear which is only sharpened by his contemplative spirit and his love for God, Denis identifies Christ's voice for us in the Psalms and amplifies it in his Commentary so that we might hear it above the din of those things which distract or deafen us to it, and might say with Samuel: "Speak, Lord, for your servant hears." (1 Sam. 3:10)
