Psalms
Overview
Based on the NKJV, David Guzik’s commentary on Psalms assumes the full trustworthiness and authority of Scripture, combining insights from scholars throughout the ages. Guzik provides clear exposition, designed to help Bible readers understand what the text says, and what it means.

It seems as if there is no commentary content between Psalm 86 and 119. I enjoy David Guzik's commentary, but was disappointed that the missing Psalms were not mentioned before I purchased.Leroy Waldner

There are quite of few psalms not included in this book. Would have been nice if this was mentioned in the description.
