Short Essay on Psalm(s) or Nunc Dimittis or Magnificat (5 pages)

Write a five page paper on one of the following:  Psalms 1-3 from Vespers  Psalms 140-141 from Vespers  Psalms 129, 116 from vespers  Nunc dimittis from Vespers  Psalm 33 from Vespers  Psalm 37 from Matins  Psalm 62 from Matins  Psalm 87 from Matins  Psalm 102 from Matins  Psalm 142 from Matins  Psalms 134-135 (Polyeleos) from Matins  Psalm 50 from Matins & others services  Magnificat from Matins  Psalms 148-150 from Matins

Please organize the paper in the following manner: 1. situate the psalm or text in the context which gave rise to this text 2. identify any difficult words or phrases in the text 3. present some patristic commentary on this text (if any) 4. how is this text used in the Liturgy of the Hours 5. anything else you think important that needs to be stated about this text.

The version of the Psalms (ideally) used in the Byzantine Catholic and Orthodox Churches is the Septuagint- not the Hebrew (Masoretic) version. In researching the Psalms, keep in mind that essentially all of the following works in the bibliography below are commenting on the Hebrew, not the Greek. Occasionally there can be significant differences between the Greek and Hebrew. Make sure you have an English translation of the Greek (Septuagint) in hand when you are writing your paper, so that you note any important differences between the two. A version of the Bible that follows the Septuagint is The Orthodox Study Bible (published in 2008 and includes the Old Testament).

Please do not exceed the page count by more than one or two pages. I will not read anything past seven pages. Please format the paper according to the Student Style Guide found on the USP Faculty of Theology webpage, and please use footnotes (endnotes will not be accepted). You may submit the paper digitally (preferred) in a Word document format, 1” margins, Times New Roman, 11pt, and 1.5 line spacing. Marks will be deducted for grammatical/orthographic errors. Please (have a peer) proofread.
