And why is poetry in the Bible? -- How to read the poetry and enjoy the experience -- Expect Psalms to deliver experiences to which you can relate -- The Psalms are both God's words to us and our words to God -- The Psalms in modern scholarship -- Ancient Near Eastern backgrounds to the Psalms -- The text and versions of the Psalms -- Why I stopped arguing with my own translation (It's an argument that never ends) -- Psalm superscriptions -- Psalms 1-41 : Book 1 of the Psalms -- Psalms 42-50 : The first part of Book 2 of the Psalms.
Summary: "This scholarly volume in the Concordia Commentary series covers Psalms 1-50. The author devotes meticulous attention to the grammar, structure, and literary artistry of these Hebrew poems. The exposition of each psalm includes textual notes on the Hebrew and commentary in two parts. The first part analyzes the flow of thought, emotions, and theological beliefs of the poet. The second part interprets the psalm within the larger context of the Old Testament and also the New Testament, attesting the same faith held by Christians in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It takes into consideration the history of interpretation and provides devotional applications to the individual and corporate life of prayer, trusting in God's eschatological salvation"--
