Psalms 1-50 - Word Biblical Commentary

Craigie's translations and interpretations . . . apply insights into the Hebrew language and Israel's literature drawn from Ugaritic texts.  He provides a careful and critical analysis of various controversial proposals based on these sources for understanding the early substance and later form of the Psalter.  Marvin Tate . . . augments this with an extensive supplement that updates the bibliographies and documents the recent explosive growth in Psalm studies.
