the Way of Righteous in Muck Life: Psalms 1 12

If you’re up to your eyes in the mess and mud, there’s another path to walk. The righteous rely on God, and the Psalms teach us how. In the opening pages of the Psalms, believers discover foundational truth for right living and are invited to enter the great delight that belongs to the children of God. Meditating on God’s Word is key to ‘the pursuit of pleasure’. The Psalms are a treasure trove for such a pursuit. Walk with the Psalmist through good times and bad times, finding a wealth of reasons for the recipients of God’s covenant love to take heart. In this first instalment of his essential guide to the Psalms, trusted theologian Dale Ralph Davis leads readers through a careful study of Psalms 1–12 with clear application for daily life. Using his own translation, Davis sets out a verse–by–verse exposition and crystallises the Psalmist’s message with cross–references to situate the passages in broader biblical context. With illustrations from history and personal experience, the truth comes alive. An indispensable accompaniment to the Psalms. Suitable for use as a personal study guide or as a reference and teaching guide for facilitating small group study.
