David VanDrunen is one of the clearest and most precise Reformed thinkers about the Christian life. What a treat that he has put his pastoral application of that incisiveness into print so that we might all benefit from his preaching through Psalm 119.  -- Harrison Perkins This volume serves as a living testimony to the power of God’s Word, demonstrating how it sustains and strengthens Christians who, like exiles, live in a world captive to sin and swept away by waves of iniquity.  -- Changwon Shu Psalm 119 is packed with timeless truths that for millennia have enlightened the paths of many pilgrims. VanDrunen explains these truths afresh with exegetical precision and practical application. -- Brian A. DeVries Among all the chapters of Scripture, none emphasizes the Word of God more frequently or intensely than Psalm 119, and it is fitting that a servant of the Word such as VanDrunen should write on this psalm. -- Joonbum Kim Psalm 119 is a majestic Psalm that calls the reader to meditate on God’s Word and delight in it, which makes Dave VanDrunen’s book a fitting response. He serves as a careful, honest, and clear guide to exploring the richness of the Psalm and what obedience to it means for the Christian.  -- Chase R. Kuhn
