Description
The Psalms: helpful but hard.
Davis is well qualified for the task of making sense of the complexities.
With his recognisable humour and razor-sharp observations, these expositions help us to engage with the conflict in these twelve psalms. When life gets tough, Davis invites us to set up camp and sit with the Psalmist whose experience of dark days can point you to the God who understands and upholds.
In this third instalment of his essential guide to the Psalms, trusted theologian Dale Ralph Davis leads readers through a careful study of Psalms 25-37 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.

Reviews / Votes
"Davis joins hands with the sacred songwriter in beckoning us to employ our grittiest grief, formidable fears, principle praises and staunchest certainties as we pour out our hearts into the bosom of God. ... if you are trudging arduously before the oppressive presence of evil and darkness,
you will find this book a true friend!
"Michael W. Philliber
"
In this work of exposition, Davis again shows how unchanging God's Word is, and how sufficient He is to meet us in whatever trial we face. Davis has a gift for bringing the word to bear in clear and crisp ways. This book does just that-and it's another gift to God's people from Dr. Davis.

It is Ralph Davis at his best. Brilliant exposition punctuated by apt historical illustrations, pertinent quotations, home spun stories, personal honesty and delicious use of language.
"David Carmichael
"
The treasure of this book is the way Dr. Davis skillfully walks his readers through the ancient words and literary styles of these Psalms into a grander view of the covenant-keeping God and a fuller understanding of his care for His people.

Ralph Davis loves baseball. Well, this exposition of Psalms 25-37 is not only a home run, but a grand slam home run. Christians love to read the Old Testament Psalms, but we often struggle to grasp the flow and meaning of the text. Ralph pulls back the veil and helps us to see the height, depth, length and breadth of the love of Yahweh for His people in all ages of the church. This exposition will provide fuel for the souls of those who read it.
"David Jussely
"
This accessible but profound study of the Psalms has warmed my heart and made me thankful again for the greater gift of Christ our King. There is gold on every page and comfort in each chapter. Once again we are all in Dale Ralph Davis' debt for his scholarship presented with humility and his ministry fulfilled so faithfully.
