Psalms: An Expositional Commentary, Vol. 1

“No matter how familiar you may be with the Psalms, an incredible amount of information and insight can be gained through this commentary."—Christian Retailing

Whether you’re a serious Bible student probing through Psalm nineteen or a first-time reader inspired by the promise of Psalm twenty-three, this first volume on the book of Psalms explores each of the first forty-one psalms, uncovering deep reflections, wisdom for living, and verses of praise, confidence, and repentance.

Psalm one stresses the importance of God’s guidance in one’s life.

Psalm sixteen foretells Jesus’s resurrection, a startling and impressive declaration for the time.

Psalm twenty-three portrays life as a pilgrimage, where God is provider, comforter, and friend.

This expositional commentary on one of the Bible’s most popular books combines careful scholarship and clear communication in a verse-by-verse and section-by-section reading of the biblical text. Integrating thoughtful interpretation with contemporary insight for daily living, James Montgomery Boice explains the meaning of the text and relates the text’s concerns to the church, Christianity, and the world in which we live.
