For centuries the book of Psalms has been read as a random collection of individual poems with no discernible pattern of intentional arrangement.
Augustine referred to the organization of the psalms as a "mighty mystery." Recent Old Testament studies insist that each psalm is not to be interpreted in view of its position in the overall book or by the psalms that border it.
 
Yet O. Palmer Robertson shows that there is a clear redemptive-historical progression that develops throughout the five books of the psalms. In addition, structural elements such as the placement of acrostic psalms, strategic couplings of a Messianic psalm with a Torah psalm, and the grouping of psalms by topics indicate an intentional structuring.

Review Quotes:
"A pleasure to read! . . . Showing us the genius of the book's structure and the interconnections between structure and substance, Robertson makes the overall theological message of the Psalms come to light. His fresh and insightful work on this majestic book of Scripture is sure to expand your mind, warm your heart, and open your mouth to join with all creation in shouts of 'Hallelu-YAH.'"--Douglas Sean O'Donnell, Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies and Practical Theology, Queensland Theological College, Brisbane, Australia
