Psalms: Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (2 vols.) (EBTC)

James M. Hamilton provides a fresh translation and canonical interpretation of the Psalms. Though commonly read in isolation, the Psalms are best read as a collage that tells a story of God’s faithfulness to his people through his king.
