Top Five Commentaries on Psalms


Ligonier Ministries has a list and discussion of their top five commentaries on Psalms. I would replace Kidner with either Hans-Joachim Kraus or Goldingay. I would also add Perowne, Leupold, and Allen Ross in The Bible Knowledge Commentary to the runners-up. In any case, the top five Keith Mathison has listed are:


1. Willem A. VanGemeren -- "Psalms" in the Expositor's Bible Commentary (1991).
2. Gerald Wilson -- Psalms Volume 1 (NIV Application Commentary, 2002).
3. Donald Williams -- Psalms 1-72; Psalms 73-150 (The Preacher's Commentary, 2002).
4. Derek Kidner -- Psalms 1-72; Psalms 73-150 (Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries, 1973).
5. Peter Craigie, Marvin Tate, Leslie Allen -- Psalms 1-50; Psalms 51-100; Psalms 101-150 (Word Biblical Commentary, 1983, 1990, 2002).
