Dear Readers, As we embark on this spiritual journey through the Psalms, it's my pleasure to introduce a unique element in the creation of this commentary: 'Charley', a personalized iteration of ChatGPT. This commentary is crafted with the fervent followers of Christ in mind—those who seek to immerse themselves daily in the Word of God and engage in faithful study and reflection. The inspiration for this approach comes from my work with the 'Daily Gospel' YouTube channel, a project born out of a deep desire to bring the Scriptures alive in our everyday lives. It's a response to the call of Christ to 'take up our cross daily'—a reminder that our commitment to follow Him is renewed with each new day. Our aim is that these reflections become more than just readings; we pray they transform your walk with Jesus Christ, leading to a deeper understanding and a more intimate relationship with Him. As we navigate through the Psalms, each day we will provide text for reflection, accompanied by insightful commentary and questions for contemplation. This format is designed to encourage you to make a 'daily' commitment—not just to read but to reflect and act upon God's Word. So, whether you join us first thing in the morning, during a quiet moment in your day, or as an evening devotion, may this commentary enrich your study of the Bible. May it be a source of strength, guidance, and joy as we all seek to follow the command of Jesus to engage with our faith 'today' and every day. heartfelt gratitude in Christ, ROBERT & CHARLEY

PSALMS AS THE HOLY SPIRIT'S GUIDE TO INTIMACY WITH GOD
PSALMS AS THE HOLY SPIRIT'S GUIDE TO INTIMACY WITH GOD

Pneumatology has a history since the beginning of the church, but the mystical entity of the Holy Spirit yet to be fully understood. There is a disappointment that the existing literature mainly caters to the theoretical paradigm of the subject leaving a gap in facilitating sufficient understanding of the person of the Holy Spirit and His work that allows an ordinary believer to experience God’s intimacy through dwelling in His presence in their hours of emotional needs. The systematic theological reflection of the person and the work of the Holy Spirit shows that the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in nurturing intimacy with God which facilitates believers receiving His counseling, comfort, and strength when they are emotionally challenged. The book of Psalms is considered the expression of the emotions and feelings of the psalmists as they are stirred by the thought of God, and directed at Him. We also hear the voice of God in the Psalms which encourage a dialogical relationship with God. This shows the great potential of the Psalms to provide counseling and comfort that provides a means of dealing with extreme human emotions. The exploration of the experiences of the psalmist shows that they were swift to find peace in the presence of God during emotionally challenged times. They refer to the Holy Spirit and the roles He plays in an individual life especially during times of trouble, giving counsel and comforting the victims. They have recorded receiving direction, correction, and strength when they are challenged by all forms of emotions such as fear, persecution, lost sense of self-worth, isolation, guilty consciousness, distanced from God, deprived mind, and thankfulness. Accordingly, in the book of Psalms believers have access to sufficient hymns for inviting and expressing praise to God, prayers that voice the needs in times of trouble, and life-giving instruction especially when they are emotionally challenged.

The NIV Application Commentary series is unique. Any student of the Psalms using this work will quickly find its accessibility a welcoming appetizer before being presented with the main course of world-class Psalms scholarship. This commentary is intentionally designed to be two-way—readers are not only guided backwards to what the text meant in its original contexts, but its meaning and implications are brought forward to bear on the readers’ present context. In this volume, Grant covers Psalms 73–106, while Tucker covers Psalms 107–150. Individually, they have worked on the Psalms for many years. Besides bringing to the table up-to-date scholarship from both sides of the Atlantic, the combination of their strengths makes this second installation a formidable one. Tucker’s earlier work, Constructing and Deconstructing Power in Psalms 107–150 (Atlanta: SBL, 2014), supplied the historical basis for his interpretation of these psalms. Likewise, Grant’s published dissertation, The King as Exemplar: The Function of Deuteronomy’s Kingship Law in the Shaping of the Book of Psalms (Atlanta: SBL, 2004), supplied the literary and theological frameworks for his interpretation of the exilic and Mosaic psalms in books three and four of the Psalter. In other words, they are suitably qualified for this mammoth task. Those familiar with the first volume by Gerald Wilson will be happy to know that Tucker and Grant, who represent a younger generation of Psalms scholarship, have continued the tradition. Even more so, they have now supplied in their introduction what was left unsaid by Wilson (pp. 19–37): two important hermeneutical perspectives—the editorial shape, and the theology of the Psalter. The discussions on the editorial shape of the Psalter have gone somewhat beyond what Wilson had accomplished. For instance, Grant has linked the loss of Jerusalem depicted in Psalm 74 all the way through Psalm 79 and beyond by highlighting certain motifs like “remembrance” (pp. 80, 97, 110, 140, 168, 182). Clearly, the commentary has benefited also from the slew of studies on the canonical shaping of the Psalter since the 1990s.
