| 520 | 3 | |a In the past two and a half decades rhetorical criticism has been employed extensively to examine individual psalms, and in more recent studies the canonical shape or structure of either the entire Psalter or books therein have been the focus of attention. This dissertation utilizes both methods to study the psalms that make up Book III of the Hebrew Psalter. The first method analyzes in detail how individual psalms were composed, and the second the unity created by the collocation of seventeen different texts. The results of rhetorical criticism demonstrated that repetition of consonants is used extensively to bind together single cola, bicola and verse paragraphs especially, being not absent likewise from strophes and entire psalms. Semantic and syntactic parallelism also appears at all levels. Furthermore, the psalm superscriptions are more often than not integral to the rhetorical unity of individual psalms, as well as the canonical unity of Book III. Analysis of the canonical structure of this book demonstrated a consistent dialogue from start to finish, springing from the promises to David's sons of Ps.72 at the end of Book II. The individual speaking in the first Ps.73 of Book III laments how conditions are opposite of those predicted in 72. He and his nation ask continually how long (or why) before the present desolation ends (74:1,9-10, 77:8-10, 79:5,10, 80:5,13, 85:6, 89:47), and the kingdom described in Ps.72 appears. In one of various divine responses (82:2), the same question is asked of the nation's authorities about their partiality in judgment. To the questions of how long in 77:8-10, the response in 78 details ironically the continual rebellion of the nation, utilizing vocabulary from the previous queries themselves. Divine answers in Pss.75-76 assured eventual justice and peace but without a timetable. The Davidic individual portrayed in Book III, especially in Psalms 84-89, is the embodiment of righteousness and truth promised in the eschatological kingdom. To the final question of how long in 89:47, the following Ps.90 of Book IV responds that divine and human perspectives on time differ. | |
