"Loretz's collection of psalm studies, like his earlier published work, offers very rich insights into the art of poetry, the religio-historical background of the psalms, and literary developments in textual transmissons. For more than three decades he has followed his own path of research, much to the benfit of all those adhering to different methods of investiagation."Erhard S. Gerstenberger in: The Catholic Biblical Quartely 66/2004
