If you're stoked for that, then I would be remiss to not say something about Robert Alter's one man translation of the Hebrew Bible.
From wiki: "Alter's translation aims to convey the literary style of the original Hebrew text in English, recreating as much as possible its poetic rhythms and metaphors"
I think many of the Psalms and Ecclesiastes in particular are more beautifully rendered in his translation
