Description

"I have always thought of the Psalms as the deepest and most spiritual portion of the Word of God." — James Montgomery Boice.

Covering Psalms 42–106, this second volume on the book of Psalms explores the realities of human life and the peace found only in God. James Montgomery Boice examines the life of David—his pain, trials, joy, and spiritual aspirations.

Psalm 47 reveals God as the King of all the earth, calling people from every nation to praise Him. Psalm 62 speaks of God's peace to those who are discouraged, depressed, or threatened. Psalm 100 invites us to "enter His courts with thanksgiving."

This expositional commentary on one of the Bible's most beloved books blends careful scholarship with clear communication. Boice offers a verse-by-verse and section-by-section reading of the biblical text, providing thoughtful interpretation and contemporary insights for daily living. He explains the meaning of the text while relating its concerns to the church, Christianity, and the world in which we live.
