Started a trip through the Psalms and pulled all my commentaries out of my library. I, or course, started with Spurgeon's Treasury of David. There has never been in the history of the church a better commentary than Spurgeon's work. If you don't have it, you are the lessor for it. Spurgeon spent an extraordinary amount of time and effort searching all known commentaries for valuable nuggets of insight; so, you not only get his thoughts but everything he could find as well. Spurgeon's library was massive so this is really saying a lot!
The best edition of Spurgeon's Treasury of David is the one put out by Pilgrim Publications. The typeset, binding, and overall production will stand for years. Most editions try to squeeze it all into one one or two volumes and you get both tiny print and books that are just too large to hold. Not so with this edition. There are seven volumes in the series and it's really a great edition to your library.
