"I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? "My
help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." (Ps. 121:1-2)
Throughout the history of the church, Christians have often turned
to the Book of Psalms in both rejoicing and suffering as a
significant resource for Christian belief and practice, and as the
church's prayer book and hymnal. The Protestant reformers also
turned to the Psalms during their time of significant spiritual
renewal, theological debate, and ecclesial reform. There they found
comfort, guidance, and wisdom from God that applied to their
context as much as it did to David's. As John Calvin explained,
"The Holy Spirit has presented in a living image all the griefs,
sorrows, fears, doubts, hopes, cares, perplexities, in short, all
the emotions with which human minds are often disturbed." And as
Martin Luther proclaimed, the reformers also heard a resounding
affirmation of the good news of Jesus Christ: "The Psalter ought to
be a precious and beloved book because it promises Christ's death
and resurrection so clearly." In this volume, Herman Selderhuis
guides readers through the diversity of Reformation-era commentary
on the second half of the Psalter. Represented herein are
well-known voices as well as lesser-known figures from a variety of
theological traditions, including Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals,
Anglicans, and Roman Catholics, many of whose comments appear for
the first time in English. By making available a variety of
resources-including commentaries, sermons, treatises, and
confessions-this volume enables scholars to better understand the
depth and breadth of Reformation commentary, provides resources for
contemporary preachers, and offers keen insights to all who trust
that their help comes from the Lord.
