Overview

This work by Nancy deClaissé-Walford, Rolf Jacobson, and Beth Tanner is the most complete and detailed one–volume commentary available on the Psalms. Significantly, the volume reflects the combined insights of three superior (younger) biblical scholars.

DeClaissé-Walford, Jacobson, and Tanner offer a succinct introduction to the Psalter, a new translation of each psalm that takes special account of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and individual entries on each psalm unit. Throughout the book they draw on state–of–the–art research on the canonical shape and shaping of the Psalter and evidence a nuanced attention to the poetic nature of Psalms.

Key Features

• Offers a new translation of each psalm while taking special account of the Dead Sea Scrolls

Endorsements

Their new translation of the psalms and the attached notes as well as attention to recent scholarship provide a treasure trove of insights.

—W.H. Bellinger Jr., chair, Department of Religion, Baylor University

From careful text-critical and philological analysis to thoughtful theological and pastoral reflections, the authors have created a most useful commentary on the Psalms. While valuable to scholars, these interpretations will be especially helpful to pastors in their teaching and preaching ministry.

—Patrick D. Miller, professor of Old Testament, Princeton Theological Seminary

How excellent that these three scholars have written this commentary! How admirable that they have managed to cover so much ground and deal with so many detailed points concerning text and language, all within the confines of one volume!

—John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary
