In Psalms by the Day, Alec Motyer invites readers to embark on a transformative journey through the Psalms. Building on the success of his previous work, Isaiah by the Day, this devotional guide offers a fresh translation of the Psalms, making them accessible for daily reflection. Each day features a newly translated passage, allowing readers to engage with the text in a meaningful way.
Motyer provides insightful expository notes accompanying each Psalm, which deepen understanding and encourage personal application. This thoughtful approach helps readers to not only grasp the historical context of the Psalms but also to see their relevance in contemporary life. The devotional applications encourage introspection and foster a deeper relationship with God through prayer and meditation.
With endorsements from respected figures like Mark Dever, who describes the work as 'richly full, concisely put,' Psalms by the Day stands out as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to enrich their spiritual journey. Whether used for personal study or group discussions, this book serves as a guide to experiencing the profound wisdom and comfort found in the Psalms.
What a wonderful resource! This is an invaluable study companion for anyone reading through the Psalms ... very accessible and user friendly; no knowledge of Hebrew is necessary. I heartily recommend this for pastors, students and laity alike.
-- Seulgi L. Byun (Director of Postgraduate Studies, Oak Hill College, London)This book is an absolute treasure - a life-time of godly scholarship, faithful preaching and pastoral wisdom all in one volume ... a wonderful way to engage freshly with these rich Biblical songs!
-- Jonathan Lamb (Minister–at–large for Keswick Ministries, IFES Vice President, and former Director, Langham Preaching)Part commentary, part word study, and part devotional summary/analysis, the author has brought together his earlier treatment of the Psalms in a repackaged format suitable for daily personal reading. Reflective, suggestive, informative, and inspiring, this book models the profound but subtle scholarship for which Motyer was well known.
-- The Banner of Truth... expository without being dry, devotional without being forced. As we get to look over his shoulder, we learn to read the Psalms better for ourselves ... delicious combination-richly full, concisely put.
-- Mark Dever (Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church and President, 9Marks.org, Washington, DC)I've long taken the view that anything by Alec Motyer is always worth reading. His grasp of the Bible is second-to-none. The publishers have excelled themselves with this handsome hardback volume. Here are 73 days of readings incorporating Motyer's fresh translation of the Psalms. A book to savour and enjoy.
-- Eddie Olliffe, Together MagazineThis book is the dream combination: the Psalms presented as a daily devotional by the great Christian scholar ... Everyone who picks up this book will find that they not only learn to read and understand the Psalms as Christian scripture, they may also find their prayer life changed in a profound and dramatic way.
