This devotional and expository classic is one of the most extensive and detailed commentaries on the Psalms ever written. It is undoubtedly Spurgeon's greatest literary work. Its writing and publication spanned sixteen years of the author's public ministry.

Besides his own very full commentary on every verse of the entire book of Psalms, Spurgeon also gives helpful explanatory notes and quotes from
over one thousand authors and sources drawn from all periods of Church history.

The homiletical hints and bibliographies included in each section of the commentary will be particularly useful to preachers and Sunday school teachers.

In his preface to the original edition Spurgeon writes: "More and more is the conviction forced upon my heart that every man must traverse the territory of the Psalms himself if he would know what a goodly land they are..."

This commentary will help every reader to discover more of the depth of teaching of the Book of Psalms.
