The Book of Psalms is a veritable library, a true anthology, a complete hymnal, a precious book of songs. It could even be seen as an authentic photo album, full of images that show us a series of particular places within the framework of a genuine spiritual experience.
This book, an anthology of songs for the benefit of God's people, begins and ends on a deceptively simple note. In the first Psalm, the good prosper and the wicked perish – and everything seems to resolve itself appropriately. The last one, in fact, sets the tone: "Praise the Lord" – because everything will be fine. Michael Wilcock, however, echoes the reader who questions, bewildered, but is that really the case?
The Psalms, as a whole, fulfill the task of providing context and development, with their corresponding dramatic charge, to the many questions we ask ourselves and which are also posed here: the conflicts, burdens, mysteries, and sufferings that God's people endured and continue to endure today amidst the adventure of faith.
Michael Wilcock has undertaken the task of analyzing the Psalms one by one, the short and the long, the popular and the lesser-known, showing us their function and their authentic meaning. This second volume includes Psalms 73-150.
