Note: Please read the accompanying article on the “A Thematic Approach to the Translation of the Psalms” in order to understand the rationale for the categories below. The classification and thematic ordering of the Psalms has been revised several times. However it needs further testing in order to better evaluate and improve the product. Your suggestions and feedback are valuable. Write to Anne G Kompaore agkompaore@gmail.com. 
A Paratext based topic index (under construction) is also available upon request. The index permits the user to list all the Biblical references coded according to a specific category, and to access each verse successively.
