Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
Psalms I (1–50) is the first of a three-volume commentary on the biblical book of Psalms.

Through the use of Ugaritic and cognate literature, Dahood corrects mistranslations and illuminates previously obscure phrases. The fruit of a masterful analysis of the original texts, this fresh translation, the comprehensive notes, and the groundbreaking commentary establish Dahood’s Psalms I (1–50) as the premier commentary on the Psalms.
