Mark, so you're EP then but you chant Psalms or are awaiting until a proper metrical translation is produced?
First you argue that to be consistent we must sing in Hebrew. Then when shown that this view would devastate confidence in prose translations you fall back on that old repose that our Metrical versions aren't good enough. Another logical fallacy. If there are no accurate psalters then it does not follow that EP is false.
As for the bare assertion that the metrical versions are paraphrases and not translations I deny it. First, you haven't even given a precise definition of what qualifies as translation or paraphrase.
