This is the second book in a three-part series on the Psalms. It offers a mix of literary, historical, grammatical, and theological insights in an easy-to-understand way. John Goldingay, a leading expert in biblical theology, explores Psalms 42-89 with his own translations and insights.

Each book in the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series includes:

• A new translation of the Hebrew text
• Clear comments based on the author's translation
• Insights into language, history, and the Bible's structure
• Final reflections
• Footnotes for technical details

This commentary is a great resource for pastors, teachers, and serious Bible students. Tremper Longman III, editor of the series, describes the book of Psalms as a 'literary sanctuary' where people honestly share their joys and struggles with God.
