....an excellent book by N.T. Wright on the Psalms....

Thanks. You didn't intend it but you just promoted a sale by Amazon. I'm a Psalms fan from way back.

C.S. Lewis of course, 5 large volumes of rabbinical commentary including Rashi, a transliteration Hebrew to English, several books like Bringing the Psalms to Life by Daniel Polish, and a really excellent large format book From Your Lips to God's Ear by Reuben Ebrahimoff which classifies the types,purposes and musical instruments noted and all that.

As with all my Bible study I feel each year that I know a smaller and smaller amount of the immensity of what is out there to be known. I listen to Morning Glory just about every morning and love to hear the daily psalm and quick comment. Thanks again for the tip about the Wright book.

This is an excellent book and you can get it on Audible too. I actually listened to it doing my morning 5-10 k walk. Very well narrated (one of those rich English voices, very intelligible). I loved the book because not only was it a sort of overview of the Psalms, but it told you a lot about what reading the Psalms meant to the author. The last chapter - or maybe it’s an afterword - is very touching and impressive. It deals with the psalms in his life and the death of his father.

I even repeated my walk (which is my solitary time) so I could finish it out in one hearing. Lots of kilometers that morning!
