Even by the high standards of the Psalms, the poems contained in Books 3 and 4 (Psalms 73ā106) are extraordinary and memorable. In this thoughtful, devotional commentary, pastor-theologian Richard D. Phillips shows how these psalmsā particular honesty about the trials in our human experience magnify the justice and grace of our sovereign God. He alone offers the remedy to lifeās fiercest struggles.
In our spiritual walk of faith, the psalmists take believers by the hand and guide us in our communion with God, pointing always to Christ.
As are all Reformed Expository Commentaries, this book is accessible to both pastors and lay readers. Each volume in the series gives careful attention to the biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary setting.
