Psalms 73-150

By Derek Kidner

Book Overview

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."

"Thy word is a lamp to my feet."

"Search me, O God, and know my heart "

Such phrases leap to mind whenever Christians lift their hearts to God. For many, in fact, the Psalms are the richest part of the Old Testament. Derek Kidner provides a fresh and penetrating guide to Psalms 73 through 150. He analyzes each psalm in depth, comments on interpretative questions and brings out the universal relevance of the texts. He also gives special help on the psalmists' cries for vengeance. Together with its companion volume (Psalms 1-72), both of which were formerly part of the Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries series, this introduction and commentary will inspire and deepen personal worship.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Commentary!

This is an excellent commentary on Psalms. Craigie was my go to for the first 50 Psalms. I used Hamilton's as the bridge and it's very good also. This is the first commentary I check after reading the psalm. I also have Longman's commentary as well and it's good. Kidner's book is older aka not recent but an excellent resource and perspective. It spends more time on the meat of the message and less time on chiastic structure and typology. My cover was different than the one displayed here and book is in like new condition. I doubt the former owner read it. Double win for me.

Rich repayment.

Kidner's Tyndale series commentaries on the Psalms (in two volumes) and Proverbs combine even-handed scholarship with devotional insight. They are concise and yet full.
