Description
The Book of Psalms stands unique in the world of literature. Its beauty has won an elite status, far surpassing all other poetic literature; many of the classical English poets (Chaucer, Milton, etc.) were steeped in Old Testament poetry. On the popular level, who has never heard at least part of the 23rd Psalm: “The Lord is my Shepherd…”?
The psalms are God’s revelation of His character and ways, as He gives us godly examples of how to respond to Him through the common experiences of life. This book in your hands serves as a commentary to help you understand the Book of Psalms and as a devotional to help you authentically bring life’s issues to Him in prayer.
Special added features include explanations of the figures of speech, inscriptions, and the historical context of individual psalms. It also identifies the five different forms of psalms, lists common themes, a compilation of the names of God used by the psalm writers, and essays on three critical issues that recur repeatedly in the psalms.
This book invites you to discover that we are in our best position before God when we go to him authentically, with “truth in the innermost being” (Ps. 51:6). May you be enriched by learning that the Lord gives you permission to bring all of your struggles and hopes, your complaints and laments, and your trust and praise into His throne room of grace.
