The Treasury of David

This set should be an essential of anyone who loves the Bible, and especially of anyone who also teaches the Bible. Spurgeon's organization is sound: he explains the text, verse by verse; he gives quotes of other theologians on the text; finally, he gives recommendations for those who would teach the text. I'm particularly intrigued that Spurgeon's burden was not for the academic, but the lay preacher/teacher. His insights are obviously those of one who spends much time in God's Word, but also one who lived God's Word. It is surprisingly readable.

These commentaries are pure vintage Spurgeon ... yet they have a lovely extra! He has compiled lists upon lists of fantastic quotes from the Puritans demonstrating yet again his profound reading.

I have learned a lot from this book and it is now in my Wordsearch Library. If you read my blog it is a regular daily post. It makes me dig deeper in the psalms. I once considered the Psalms to be merely poetry, but when you consider that a lot of our praise and worship songs come from Psalms you see the value of praise.

One of the best volumes ever written, not only for Spurgeon's Commentary but also for his quotations from others, including Puritans and Reformers on the Psalms, love it!

This set is in two volumes, though there are three volume sets also. This is still the best commentary on the Psalms ever written. Every preacher planning to deal with the Psalms needs this set. Electronic versions are available, though I have not found them as useful as the actual books.

Spurgeon Composed and polished The Treasury of David over the span of nearly half his ministry. This is a commentary on every verse of Psalms.

Spurgeon, C.H., The Treasury of David, 3 volumes (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers).
"The most important and practical work of the ages on the Psalter." -- Dr. Philip Schaff
"Spurgeon's own exposition appears under each verse; after that you'll find `explanatory notes and quaint sayings' (illuminating quotes from Spurgeon's contemporaries as well as from the great Puritan expositors of the 17th and 18th centuries). Each Psalm closes with a short section of `Hints to Preachers'." -- CBD
Recommended for daily devotions.
