The Psalms in Form

The Hebrew Psalter in its Poetic Shape

Series: 

A formidable and invaluable working tool for those working with the text of Psalms or with Hebrew poetry.

The Hebrew text of the Psalms is here set out in a unique way – generally one psalm to each large-format (A4) page – to show their poetic shape and structure, in couplets, triptychs and strophes. The visual impact of the layout tells its own striking story, demonstrating at a glance the skill and artistry with which the Psalms have been composed. With its introduction and notes in English, this book will be a standard tool for students, and it will have significant consequences for the scholarly interpretation of the Psalms.
