This is a commentary and guide to reading the Book of Psalms as
literature. After an introduction, each psalm is interpreted in
light of biblical scholarship, ancient and modern, with an emphasis
on the poetic presentation. The commentary elucidates the spiritual
quests, insights, and struggles of generations of men and women
confronting their world and their place in that world, with no
subject, be it faith or non-belief, good or evil, hope or despair,
God or man, the individual or the society, the nation or the
nations, left unexplored. Sophisticated poets who knew how to speak
to both their peers and the masses, the psalmists used words
creatively to allow their readers to search their own hearts. The
words are ancient, but the questions are immediate and modern. The
Psalms has contributed to the thinking and search of people across
the millennia. It is truly poetry of the heart. In this commentary,
modern research and insight allow the poems to sing once again. No
other commentary brings a combination of classical and modern
interpretations to the Book of Psalms, along with a real
appreciation for the poetic skills of the poets and an
acknowledgement of their own struggles and strivings. Uniquely
identifying the literary techniques used by the psalmist, the
author opens the psalms to the reader through an integrated
appreciation of form and content.
