Psalms: Psalms 107-150

Psalms Expositional Commentary #3

by James Montgomery Boice

The Boice Commentary series combines careful scholarship and clear communication in a verse-by-verse and section by section reading of various biblical texts. Combining 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. Whether used for devotions, preaching, or teaching, this authoritative and thought-provoking series will appeal to a wide range of readers, from serious Bible students to interested laypersons.

"The psalms themselves," says Boice, "speak so powerfully to the hurts, fears, disappointments, faith, hope, and spiritual aspirations of God's people." This third and final volume in the Psalms collection explores the psalms known as the "Songs of Ascent" (135-150), which deal with the theme of worship-teaching us what true worship is and when and how we should praise God.

This is volume 3 of the 3 part commentary of the book of James. Pastor Boice preached in his church on the book of Psalms for 6 years and then the sermons were turned into a set of 3 books. All 3 books were good but this was the best of the 3 especially his teaching on Psalm 119. I loved it. I am now studying the 119th Psalm on my own and am loving that as well. It took me several years to read through the 3 volumes but I believe that it was well worth it.
Let me say this. Even if you never read a book about the Psalms, read the Psalms. They are a picture of real life and give a wonderful picture of God in the midst of all that life can bring.

One of the best commentaries I have ever read! I loved it start to finish. Boice is both theologically rich and spiritually practical. Will definitely be reading more of his work!

I've studied one or two psalms a week for the past few years using this three-volume series as a resource. It has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of the psalms and he has helped bring out many insights I wasn't aware of. usually we agreed.

At time I think James Boice can be a little dry, but I was pleasantly surprised by the volume on Psalms 107-150. Very helpful break downs of the text, and he almost always had a story or illustration helpful for preaching.
