Commentary on Psalms 135 to 150

Psalm 119 is known not only for being the longest psalm in the collection, but also for its central topic: the Law of God. This Psalm offers a series of reflections on the theme expressed in different ways, from petitions to thanksgivings, from resolutions to plain affirmations; dealing with the nature, properties, qualities and effects of the Law. John Calvin offers the reader his valuable comments, displaying his passion and high esteem for the Scriptures. May this commentary serve to inspire in us the desire to imitate Calvin and humble ourselves before the Holy Law of God.

By publishing John Calvin's commentary on Psalms 135 to 150, CLIR adds another pearl to its repertoire of reformed literature, and another reason to thank God for giving us the opportunity to appreciate the immense work of His providence that Calvin represents for the Church of Christ. In the commentary on these 16 Psalms, Calvin provides fine exegesis, adorned with theological reflection consistent with the text and with all of Scripture, as well as due pastoral application to the life of the believer and the Church. This triple combination, rare to find in modern commentaries, is what the preacher needs who takes the Bible as divine revelation and a source of solid food that allows for individual and ecclesiastical growth.
