Zondervan Psalms, Vol. 1: NIV Application Commentary [NIVAC]
Perhaps more clearly than any other part of the biblical canon, the Psalms are human words directed toward God. Yet, through the Holy Spirit, these honest, sometimes brutal words return to us as the Word of God. Their agonies and exaltations reflect more than the human condition in which they were created. Within the context of the canonical Psalter, they become the source of divine guidance, challenge, confrontation, and comfort. It is possible, however, to miss apply them. How can we use the Psalms in a way that faithfully connects God's meaning in them and his intentions for them with our circumstances today.
Drawing on over twenty years of study Gerald H. Wilson in Psalms, Vol. 1 [NIVAC] provides critical links between the Bible and the modern world. While he considers each psalm in itself, Wilson goes much further, examining whole groups of Psalms and, ultimately, the entire Psalter (though this volume is limited to Psalms 1-72 in terms of Psalms under specific discussion), its purpose, and its use from the days of the Hebrew temple worship onward through church history. In so doing, Wilson opens our eyes to ageless truths for our lives here and now.

This is a well written balanced commentary. The author managed to produce a commentary that is technical enough for the scholar and readable enough for the layman. One can use it to write an exegetical paper and for devotions as well. How the author managed to accomplish this great feat is remarkable.
It has a lot of material indispensable for sermon preparation. I wish Dr. Wilson would have written vol 2 as well.
The is a must have commentary on the Psalms.
God bless

This is an excellent review of the Psalms. Dr Wilson strikes a remarkable balance between professional and layman accessable information. His opinions on application are right on target and very insightful. I'm finding this book my primary resource for psalms study and am praying that his second edition comes out in time to lead my study group when we're ready for the second half of the psalms.

A well-written professional analysis of the Psalms with application commentary that is thoughtful and practical. I bought this because I was looking for biblical analysis that I would find helpful in my day-to-day living, and that is certainly what this marvelous book provides.
