This extensive translation and commentary to the book of Psalms is one of Hirsch’s most important accomplishments. “This work may be seen as a summary of a fruitful life of scholarship…Rabbi Hirsch felt a special affinity for the book of Psalms.” See E.M. Klugman, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch [A Biography] (1996) p. 334-35.
