"I have always thought of the psalms as the deepest and most spiritual portion of the Word of God."--James Montgomery Boice

Covering Psalms 42-106, this second volume on the book of Psalms portrays the realities of human life and the peace that is found in God alone. James Montgomery Boice explores the life of David--his pain, trials, joy, and spiritual aspirations.

- Psalm 47 reveals God as king of all the earth and calls people of all nations to praise him.
- Psalm 62 speaks God's peace to anyone discouraged, depressed, or threatened.
- Psalm 100 invites us to "enter his courts with thanksgiving."

This expositional commentary on one of the Bible's most popular books combines careful scholarship and clear communication in a verse-by-verse and section-by-section reading of the biblical text. Integrating thoughtful interpretation with contemporary insight for daily living, James Montgomery Boice explains the meaning of the text and relates the text's concerns to the church, Christianity, and the world in which we live.
