Explicit evidence of the identity of those responsible for the composition of the Psalter is provided by the ascription of certain psalm collections to groups such as the Asaphites and Korahites. The articles in this volume analyze various direct and indirect clues within the Psalter for information concerning its authors, redactors, and compilers. The discovery of these tradents will prove to be of decisive significance for the interpretation of individual Psalms as well as the theology of the Psalter as a whole.

The commentary offers an in-depth analysis of each psalm, featuring fresh translations and detailed text-critical insights. It includes a comprehensive bibliography, exploring historical context, theological significance, and literary structure. The authors engage with various scholarly perspectives, while also examining the psalms' reception in the Septuagint, Targums, and New Testament. Additionally, line drawings enhance the understanding of the ancient Near Eastern context, making this work a valuable resource for both scholars and students.
