Poetical Psalms

Becoming enamored of and impressed by X's GROK capabilities over the last year, I recently tested its AI engine with a seemingly daunting request: paraphrase the entire 150 Psalms into English poetry using an ABAB rhyme scheme in iambic pentameter. Remarkably, it completed the task in under four hours. As a point of reference, I spent several years translating thirty-one Psalms into a similar poetic format during a personal relationship challenge nearly thirty years ago.
