Psalms, Volume 1: 1–72. NIVAC. Zondervan, 2002.
Warren Truesdale

Tim Challies

Ligonier Ministries (Keith A. Mathison)
The NIVAC series is a mixed bag, but Gerald Wilson's initial volume on the Psalms is one of the standouts. more
Jeremy Pierce (parableman)
Gerald Wilson's NIVAC on Psalms 1-72 is my favorite of all the Psalms commentaries. more
Psalms. 2 Vols. TOTC. InterVarsity Press, 1981.

armchairtheologian

The WBC on Psalms is in three volumes. more
Derek W. H. Thomas
