Description

In this illuminating commentary on Psalm 119, David VanDrunen offers a fresh perspective on the Bible’s longest chapter, exploring its profound relevance for Christians today. Through careful exposition of the psalm’s twenty–two stanzas, VanDrunen reveals how this ancient text speaks to contemporary believers who, like the psalmist, live as ‘sojourners’ in a world that is not their true home.

Key Features:

Warm and accessible meditation on Scripture’s longest psalm
Explores themes of affliction, persecution, repentance, and hope
Shows how the psalmist’s journey points forward to Christ
Treats Psalm 119 as a cohesive masterpiece rather than isolated verses

Written in an engaging and pastoral style, this book will help readers appreciate Psalm 119 not merely as a collection of individual verses but as a cohesive masterpiece that traces the spiritual journey of God’s people.

Perfect for:

Students of Scripture
Small group studies
Personal devotional reading
Anyone seeking to understand how God’s word sustains his people through times of trial

Discover how this beloved psalm illuminates the relationship between God’s word and his people’s experience as sojourners in this world.
