Commentary on Psalm 22

https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/good-friday/commentary-on-psalm-22-2

Psalm 22 is a prayer of complaint that, perhaps more than any psalm, serves as a link between the Old Testament and the story of Jesus’ passion. Indeed, this psalm is an appropriate lectionary reading (...)

Commentary on Psalm 22

https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/good-friday/commentary-on-psalm-22-4

Commentary on Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24

https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/resurrection-of-our-lord-3/commentary-on-psalm-1181-2-14-24-4

It is easy to see why Psalm 118 is the psalm selection for Easter for all three lectionary years. The psalm is bursting with exuberance and joy, the language barely adequate to the task of (...)

Commentary on Psalm 47

https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/ascension-of-our-lord/commentary-on-psalm-47

Commentary on Psalm 67

https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/sixth-sunday-of-easter-3/commentary-on-psalm-67-2

This psalm selection begins with a sharp transition calling upon God (“But you, O LORD,” v. 19a). The Hebrew construction invites us to emphatically pronounce “you” (referring to God). The urgency of his plea is (...)

https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/ordinary-14-3/commentary-on-psalm-661-9-2

https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/ordinary-18-3/commentary-on-psalm-491-12-3
