A Commentary on the Psalms, Volume 3
Digital Logos Edition
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.
This commentary addresses the three primary challenges to understanding the Psalms:
- Textual issues: Every major textual difficulty is addressed, helping the expositor understand the interpretive issues and make decisions when there are multiple available readings.
- Poetic language: The Psalms are full of poetic imagery, devices, and structures. Ross specifies the precise devices being used and how they work in each psalm.
- Grammar and syntax: This commentary illuminates the grammar and syntax of the Hebrew in a way that is helpful both to readers who are familiar with Hebrew and those who are not.
- Explores the background, grammar, and textual issues
- Provides suggested homiletical outlines
- Includes exegetical insights by top Old Testament scholars

I actually love this commentary, but was disappointed in that it advertises that "every major textual difficulty is addressed,..." and the sample pages 21-23 show the textual matters being so, but in the commentary as downloaded these very pages are missing, and it seems like the all the pages addressing textual issues in all volumes must be missing also. Logos should provide a different sample text and delete the statement about textual difficulties being addressed, or supply the pages that are missing, preferably the latter. At the price of the commentary, which, again, I love, this was a big disappointment. It was one of the reasons I bought the commentary.

Dr. Ross' 3 vol set on the Psalms are a gift to the expositor. Combining his Hebrew scholarship and decades of studying and teaching, Ross does the heavy lifting to aid your study. His writing is careful, precise, and grounded in biblical-theology. This is a resource you will not only learn from, but you’ll enjoy the labors of a this scholar writing for "the rest of us".
