In this third commentary on the Psalms, Dr. Alden completes his series by illuminating the final fifty psalms, which he has entitled "Songs of Discipleship." These psalms reveal kaleidoscopic meanings for the reader as Dr. Alden examines the background of each psalm, explains the message the psalmist was attempting to convey then, and relates it in a meaningful way to today. The psalmist tells how the Lord has proved faithful to him, helping him in his distress. He voices desperate petitions, recalls what the Lord has done in the past, praises Him for His goodness and greatness, and testifies to His mercy in the many extremities of life. Dr. Alden says, "Here, more than any other place in the Bible, the heart-throb of the saint is heard. Here are the most exalted expressions of God's greatness. Here are the most bitter groans of the sinful sick. Here is something for everyone in every mood." Containing outlines and translations of difficult words, this is an ideal book for personal or group study, in the classroom or at home.
