  • Psalm 80: an Exegetical Discussion on the Model of an Abandoned Child
    Scriptura 119 (2020:1), pp. 1-15 http://scriptura.journals.ac.za http://dx.doi.org/10.7833/119-1-1454 PSALM 80: AN EXEGETICAL DISCUSSION ON THE MODEL OF AN ABANDONED CHILD Schalk Treurnicht Department Old and New Testament Stellenbosch University Abstract Psalm 80 uses a wide variety of metaphors to describe the way Israel saw God in their present context. This context is before the fall of Samaria to the Assyrians. It was a time of uncertainty, with many questions on God’s role in Israel’s future and God’s role in their present suffering. They may have asked, are they suffering because God has forgotten or abandoned them? Due to the uncertainty the psalm, which is a communal lament, asks God not to forget them and to return to them. This is done by referring to God’s past relationship with Israel, reminding God of the good parent-child relationship they once had. In Psalm 80 different metaphors work together to create this model of parent and child, with God portrayed not as a good parent, but rather a wicked one. But all is not lost, and Israel knows their lives can be saved by God choosing to return to them and to become, once again, the good parent, who keeps them safe. In this exegetical discussion on Psalm 80, I want to use these metaphors to help develop this model of Israel as an abandoned child and to conclude with the image that this portrays. The metaphor of Israel as child does not appear in Psalm 80, thus, the different metaphors that do appear, each say something about the relational experience Israel had with God.

  • Are There Maccabean Psalms in the Psalter?
    Bibliotheca Sacra 105 (Jan. 1948): 44-55. Copyright © 1948 by Dallas Theological Seminary. Cited with permission. Department of Semitics and Old Testament ARE THERE MACCABEAN PSALMS IN THE PSALTER? BY CHARLES LEE FEINBERG, TH.D., PH.D. Perhaps one of the most important questions in the mat- ter of dating the Psalter is that of the presence or absence of Maccabean psalms in the collection. Scholars differ wide- ly on the subject of such psalms in the Psalter, some finding a large number, others noting but a handful, while still others declaring the improbability of any such compositions in the Bible. The trend today is clear enough, however. Rowley notes: "At the beginning of the present century it was common to hold that a large number of the psalms was not composed until the Maccabean period. Such a view made the compilation of the Psalter so late that it could hardly be supposed that the Temple choirs of the Chron icler's day could have used this Hymn Book. Today there is a general tendency to find few, if any, Maccabean psalms, but on the contrary a good deal of ancient and pre-exilic material, though it is unlikely that any part of our Psalter was collected in its present form before the return from the exile."1 W. T. Davison contents himself with the general remark that there were probably such psalms.2 Driver proceeds very cautiously in reviewing the opinions of Olshausen and Reuss on this type of psalm, and thinks there would have been more prominent marks of such a period in the diction and style of the psalms.3 J.

  • Psalms Psalm
    Cultivate - PSALMS PSALM 126: We now come to the seventh of the "Songs of Ascent," a lovely group of Psalms that God's people would sing and pray together as they journeyed up to Jerusalem. Here in this Psalm they are praying for the day when the Lord would "restore the fortunes" of God's people (vs.1,4). 126 is a prayer for spiritual revival and reawakening. The first half is all happiness and joy, remembering how God answered this prayer once. But now that's just a memory... like a dream. They need to be renewed again. So they call out to God once more: transform, restore, deliver us again. Don't you think this is a prayer that God's people could stand to sing and pray today? Pray it this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. God is here inviting such prayer; he's even putting the very words in our mouths. PSALM 127: This is now the eighth of the "Songs of Ascent," which God's people would sing on their procession up to the temple. We've seen that Zion / Jerusalem / The House of the Lord are all common themes in these Psalms. But the "house" that Psalm 127 refers to (in v.1) is that of a dwelling for a family. 127 speaks plainly and clearly to our anxiety-ridden thirst for success. How can anything be strong or successful or sufficient or secure... if it does not come from the Lord? Without the blessing of the Lord, our lives will come to nothing.

  • A Six Week Study in the Book of PSALMS Window to the Soul: a Six Week Study in the Book of Psalms
    W t I o N SSOOUULL D t O h W e A Six Week Study in the book of PSALMS Window to the Soul: A Six Week Study in the Book of Psalms Since the inception of the Church, the psalms have been the sweet hymnbook by which God’s people have praised him for His goodness, kindness and Glory. They contain words of comfort in times of pain and encouragement for those who suffer. They are an example to us of how to be authentic in our struggles and honest in our failures, while always trusting Him to restore our souls. More than communicating a story, the psalms communicate experience, feeling, and emotion. As you study, remember that “The word of God is living and active…it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). God’s Word touches the depths of our souls, and leads us to the one who has all we need. Whether you are in a season of pain or sweet blessing, you can find rest as you read and study… The Psalms. Session 1: Psalm 100 The Elements of a Psalm Session 2: Psalm 100, Jonah 2 Psalms of Praise Session 3: Psalms 22, 80 Psalms of Lament Session 4: Psalm 51 Psalms of Penitence Session 5: Psalms 96, 99 Psalms of Kingship Session 6: Chapters 1, 19 Psalms of Wisdom 2 Session 1: Psalm 100 The Elements of a Psalm Helpful Hints: o The English word “psalms” is a Greek word simply spelled in Roman letters.

  • Psalm 105 Continued
    Psalm 105 Continued In the last lesson we were studying about Joseph being sold into Egypt by his brothers, winding up in jail, and becoming second to the Pharaoh as part of God's plan to get the family of Jacob into Egypt. Psalm 105:20 "The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, and let him go free." Released him from prison (Gen. 41:14). The object was that he might interpret the dreams of Pharaoh. "The ruler of the people, and let him go free": Hebrew, "peoples," in the plural, referring either to the fact that there were "many" people in the land, or that Pharaoh ruled over tributary nations as well as over the Egyptians. This is saying that Pharaoh himself, let Joseph out of jail. Psalm 105:21 "He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:" (Gen. 41:40). This implied that the administration of the affairs of the nation was virtually committed to him. "And ruler of all his substance": Margin, as in Hebrew, "possession." Of all he had. He placed all at his disposal in the affairs of his kingdom. When Joseph interpreted the dream of the Pharaoh with a plan to save their land, Pharaoh made Joseph second only to himself. Psalm 105:22 "To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom." Giving him absolute power. The power here referred to was that which was always claimed in despotic governments, and was, and is still, actually practiced in Oriental nations.

  • Paul's Use of Psalms: Quotations, Allusions
    Faculty of Theology University of Helsinki PAUL’S USE OF PSALMS QUOTATIONS, ALLUSIONS, AND PSALM CLUSTERS IN ROMANS AND FIRST CORINTHIANS Marika Pulkkinen DOCTORAL DISSERTATION To be presented for public discussion with the permission of the Faculty of Theology of the University of Helsinki, in Athena building, room 107, on the 8th of May, 2020 at 12 o’clock. Helsinki 2020 ISBN 978-951-51-6040-9 (pbk.) ISBN 978-951-51-6041-6 (PDF) Unigrafia Helsinki 2020 Abstract This study examines how Paul uses psalms and how this is related to the uses and status of the psalms in the late Second Temple Judaism. The study focuses on clusters of explicit and subtle references to psalms in Paul’s Letter to the Romans and his First Letter to the Corinthians. Furthermore, the study covers the psalm quotations paired together or with another scriptural text and a selection of four individually occurring quotations from a psalm. The following questions are answered in this study: What was the status of psalms within Jewish scriptures for Paul? What does their use as different clusters tell us of the source of Paul’s citations and exegesis of the psalms? How do the individually occurring quotations from psalms differ from quotation clusters or pairs of quotations? What kind of scriptural texts does Paul combine when quoting from or referring to the psalms, and which interpretive technique enables him to do so? The study is divided into two main parts—Part I: Psalms in the Late Second Temple Period; and Part II: Paul’s Use of Psalms.
