AB The book of Psalms -- Out of the depths -- The praise of God in the Psalms -- The shape of the grammar -- The movement of the grammar.
AB [The author] traces the way the Psalms exemplify and create a grammar for living a life of faith.  He explores both the genre and shape of the Psalter and focuses upon the themes of lament and of praise.  He concludes that the Psalter directs readers to use the psalms of lament and praise as models for life, depending on God's justice in times of anger, singing God's praise in times of thanksgiving, and always acknowledging God as Lord over hardships and blessings. Only in this way, he argues, can humans live the faith of the Psalms -- a faith defined by complete dependence on God. -- paraphrased from jacket
