Working through the Psalms one by one, this resource provides tools for our understanding of how Christ is present in these ancient worship texts. The Psalms cover the gamut of emotions, and have a lesson to provide and an understanding to convey about any circumstance in which we might find ourselves.
Exalting Jesus in Psalms 51-100 is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida. All volumes take a Christ-centered approach to expositing the books of the Bible. Instead of a verse-by-verse approach, the authors explain and apply key passages, teaching readers to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture.

David has written several books, Radical, Radical Together, Follow Me and most recently Counter Culture (to be released February 2015). He also has a radio program on Moody Radio, Radical with David Platt, that can be heard around the world and features past sermons and teaching from David’s ministry. David founded Radical (Radical.net), a ministry devoted to serving churches and disseminating disciple-making resources toward the end that the gospel might be made known in all nations. David and his wife Heather have four children, Caleb, Joshua, Mara Ruth, and Isaiah.
