Commentary on Psalms - Volume 2

by John Calvin

John Calvin (1509–1564) was a French theologian who became the leading figure of the Reformation in Geneva. Trained in law and humanist scholarship, he published the first edition of his Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1536, at twenty-six, and spent his life preaching, lecturing, and organizing the Genevan church. His commentaries on nearly the whole Bible and the final 1559 Institutes anchor our Reformed collection.

About this book

The second volume of John Calvin's commentary on the Psalms, in Henry Beveridge's English translation. Calvin continues through Israel's songbook, explaining each psalm's setting and sense while drawing out its use for prayer and praise. His treatment of the psalms of lament and trust is especially searching, showing how believers may bring complaint, confession, and confidence honestly before God.
