Psalms 1-72 (Mastering the Old Testament Vol. 13)

I had looked for a good commentary on Psalms in the past, but was never able to find anything satisfactory. I am very picky about how commentaries deal with the scriptures and I'm not interested in weak, milk-toast interpretations. I want a book that is meaty and can give me greater insight and understanding than what I already have; something that can answer questions that I've not been able to resolve through my own studies. This book by Donald Williams has satisfied that need. I was quite surprised by the indepth, thorough treatment that he has given to each of the Psalms covered in this volume. It is actually an exhaustive exposition, and well written at that. He is obviously well acquainted with the content of the Psalms, has a very mature understanding of what they are about, coupled together with signs that he has a scholarly background which puts everything into proper context and perspective. His studies are balanced, practical, technical and yet very easy to read, and never dry. Anyone who has a relationship with the Lord, and is familiar with the Psalms will recognize that Dr. Williams knows what he is talking about; he opens up our understanding of what the sacred writings are saying. Also, throughout my reading I noticed that Dr. Williams is soundly moored in the Hebraic roots and nature of the scriptures, making mention of Torah, Yahweh etc., and he obviously understands Hebrew history, culture and prophecy (what a relief!). This was a very refreshing aspect of the book. As far as I am concerned, this book hits the bulls eye, I would recommend it to anyone. I'm definately going to buy the companian volume that covers Psalms 73-150!
