Happy Thanksgiving!

While the holiday of Thanksgiving tends to be an American institution, the practice of giving thanks should be universal. This year has been personally trying in a number of ways, but I am blessed in ways beyond counting and on my best days, counted among the thankful. I am hoping that today is one of those days.

Psalm 58

I am working on a commentary on the Psalms. I have decided to compile some helpful links that I discovered during my research. It includes a mix of exegetical and sermonic links. Here is what I have for Psalm 58 (in no particular order). Feel free to mention any that you find helpful in the comments section.
