Psalms

Everything you've heard about this commentary is true: While the coverage of Ugaritic is vast, the actual coverage of the Psalms is sparse! If you can pick up this set for cheap (or free!), the comparative linguistics has some merit, but don't count on this as your only stop for Psalms exegesis.

The Anchor Bible commentary on Psalms by Mitchell Dahood takes up three volumes. It's very dated at this point. Dahood's specialty is comparative linguistics, particularly with Ugaritic, but later commentators often criticize him as going too far, assuming a linguistic connection simply because of a similar form when a more reasonable explanation is at hand within the Hebrew language itself. You won't find much in here on theology, connections with the New Testament, or contemporary application, but its value for the scholar makes it still worth a mention. [Full Review]
