“With this volume, Bruce Waltke and James Houston complete an impressive trilogy that relates the Psalms to Christian worship, lament, and praise. Their exegesis is extraordinarily well informed, and their attention to the history of interpretation of the Psalms makes it eminently clear how the Psalms have served and continue to serve as Christian praise.”
