Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Louis Sorenson <llsorenson AT hotmail.com>]

I'm looking for the best commentaries on the Psalms. One that focuses on the 
the Hebrew text, but also on the genre as a whole.  I want to use it as a 
background commentary for reading the Psalms in the Greek Septuagint. Does 
anyone have any comments on these two commentaries? Are there other 
commentaries specifically dealing with the Greek Psalms, I am aware of none.

Two commentaries I have found of note are 
Word Biblical Commentary: Psalms 1-50, Second Edition,  Volume 19
                                                

                                                By: Peter C. Craigie, Marvin 
E. Tate
