Exposition of Psalm 119 - Paperback

by Charles Bridges (Author)

Theologian and Biblical scholar Charles Bridges explains the nature of psalm 119, popularly renowned as one of the lengthiest and most spiritually rich of the psalms.

In this superb narrative, Bridges undertakes an intensive narration of each verse. He discusses at length the meanings and constructions behind each - on average, the author devotes over 750 words of exposition and discussion to each verse. The length of Bridges' work alone makes it noteworthy; that the style of the author's writing sometimes ranges to a stream of consciousness renders it both interesting and worthy of examination.

With his scholarship and gifts for evocation at the ready, Charles Bridges delivers clarity and depth to the ancient verses, allowing Christians to appreciate the value of the famous psalm. He manages to be lively and entertaining, yet supremely respectful of the spiritual advice and faceted meanings in each of the verses, revealing what the Bible teaches about the character of God and our earthly existence.

Published in many editions during and following his life, Bridges' exposition of psalm 119 attained great respect. While the author published other expositions, his work upon psalm 119 gained the greatest and most enduring acclaim.
