Overview

For thousands of years, the book of Psalms has been one of God’s people’s richest resources for worship and the spiritual life. It’s also one of the most complex and challenging sections of the Bible for expositors. Pastors, teachers, and all serious students of the Bible will find this commentary invaluable for developing their understanding of the Psalms and for improving their ability to expound it with precision and depth. Allen P. Ross guides the reader through a detailed exegesis, proposes a homiletical outline, and offers a summary expository idea of the message of each psalm.

“It therefore bears the idea of returning something to its original state. David’s words are general enough to mean that the LORD restores him to his proper spiritual and physical condition by forgiving him and renewing him (see Pss. 32 and 51).” (Volume 1, Page 562)

“A close analysis of the text will show that it is a meditation on all that the LORD does for the one who trusts in him.” (Volume 1, Page 555)

“The psalm is written as a song of confident trust in the LORD and gives every indication it represented an individual’s personal faith.” (Volume 1, Pages 556–557)

“The two parts belong together because the sun imagery gives unity to the whole composition:¹⁷ if the sun is the most glorious gift of the creator for physical life, the word of Yahweh is the most glorious gift for the spiritual life; and if the sun dominates life and illumines everything under it, the word dominates every aspect of the spiritual life—and the physical life as well—all the time. There is no physical life without the sun; there is no spiritual life without the word.” (Volume 1, Page 469)

“The careful contemplation of the revelation of the LORD in creation and scripture will inspire greater adoration and renewed spiritual commitment in the believer.” (Volume 1, Page 487)
