We find Tucker and Grant offer a rich guide through Psalms 73 to 150, combining careful reading with a consistent eye to contemporary life and church worship.
Given the size of the volume, it is not a quick read. But it is built to help us do the hard work of moving from ancient poetry to present faithfulness.
Why Should I Own This Commentary?
We should own this when we want sustained help on the back half of the Psalter. The authors are attentive to themes like exile, hope, and the praise climax, which gives coherence to our preaching plans.
We also benefit from repeated pastoral wisdom on using the Psalms in discipleship. The commentary often helps us name modern parallels without forcing the text into our categories.
As Reformed readers, we will especially value the way the book keeps worship and doctrine together. That helps us preach the Psalms as Scripture that forms the mind and warms the heart.
Closing Recommendation
We recommend this as a major mid level resource for pastors committed to teaching the Psalms well. It is best used over time, but it repays the effort.
As pastoral next steps, we can read the Bible Book Overview, browse Top Recommendations, and use the Reformed Commentary Index as we build a wiser shelf.
